Integrated Planning for Inclusive and Resilient Urban Areas

The Planning and Resilience component of KUSP II focuses on equipping municipalities with the tools and strategies needed to address urban challenges, mitigate climate risks, and enhance long-term sustainability. By integrating resilience into urban planning, the program ensures that cities can withstand and adapt to environmental, economic, and social disruptions while continuing to provide essential services to their residents.
