A multi-disciplinary conference and exhibition exploring the future of risk in our cities and societies
University of Cambridge Department of Architecture, Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 March 2015
Cities are developing into increasingly complex systems. This is giving rise to new scales of risk, making preparedness measures and resilience planning more challenging to formulate and implement.
Large urban populations growing directly over major fault lines in Iran, infectious disease epidemics becoming endemic in Hong Kong, flooding threatening the UK’s coastal towns, and China’s unique aging population issue exemplify how 21st century urbanism is becoming defined by our relationship to risk.
This two-day conference questions how prepared our urban lifestyles and urban forms are for these inevitable threats.
