Synopsis

Interview transcript:Sustainable urban development is extremely important because cities are where the majority of people live and work.Cities are growing and the reality is that our informal areas in our cities are increasing.Those are the communities that are the hardest hit and they are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.There's often a higher rate of loss of life in these areas and therefore we need to work with our cities to create these resilient spaces to embrace informality and ensure that no one is left behind.
