This document is the result of the inventory, systematisation, analysis and conceptual debate on the initial notion of urban risk. The attention of specialised organisations, experts, academicians and persons working daily on risk management and disaster preparedness has shifted to a steadily growing phenomenon, which is the concentrated impact of disasters in communities and urban contexts, in addition to unbalanced processes in the urban/rural relationship, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean.
