The handbook provides DRM practitioners with advice for integrating DRM into four key urban management tools: building regulation, urban land use planning, informal settlement upgrading and critical facilities emergency management. It guides practitioners on how to engage municipal planning teams, urban managers, city officials and other public and private agencies that utilize these four urban management tools to influence or regulate urban development.
The guidance in this handbook aims to:
provide the DRM practitioner with the confidence to engage with urban managers for risk-based urban development; supply the practitioner with sound arguments to be used in advocating for the integration of DRM; outline key approaches, tools and strategies for successful and comprehensive integration of DRM into the designated urban management tools; and demonstrate the fundamental concept of integration, which involves embedding the stages of the DRM process into the corresponding stages of the target urban management process or tool.
