URBE Latam: Understanding Risks and Building Enhanced Capabilities in Latin American cities

城市拉塔姆解决了可持续发展和公平复原力之间的执行差距。为此，它将采用跨学科研究方法，旨在增强易受灾害影响的城市贫困社区居民的能力，这将有助于共同加强对当地风险的具体情况的了解，并将由此产生的数据纳入减少灾害风险和可持续发展监测的决策程序。该项目由一支技术高超的多学科研究团队(包括社会科学、工程学和自然科学)实施，对公民生成的数据采用对话式的联合生成方法，依赖于与里约热内卢和麦德林的基于社区的地方发展、教育和减少灾害风险倡议以及参与减少灾害风险和地方规划和发展的政府机构建立良好的伙伴关系。URBE Latam由四个综合部分组成，寻求加强对灾害多发城市地区的风险、脆弱性和地方能力的了解：首先，它集中于让公民参与生成数据，以扩大对邻里层面的风险的理解；第二，在公民参与风险的同时，还将分析城市和国家两级在复原力和发展指标及政策方面的社会空间不平等；第三，这将导致用公民生成的数据重新校准环境风险地图；第四，这些组成部分被阐明并纳入一个框架，以促进不同级别和所涉利益攸关方之间的对话转变。推动这些产出的进程将进一步促进地方社区以及里约热内卢和麦德林政府的能力建设；这一进程将通过更广泛的传播提高拉丁美洲其他城市和国家的利益攸关方的认识来加强。将与国际决策机构合作，将通过协作产生的公民生成的数据的见解纳入灾害风险管理和发展监测的做法(例如可持续发展报告)，从而实现向更公平的减少灾害风险和可持续发展的转变。作为一项重要成果，该项目将能够转变做法，增进不同利益攸关方的知识，并加强促进公平复原力的能力。

URBE Latam addresses the implementation gap between sustainable development and equitable resilience. It will do so by using a transdisciplinary research approach aimed at empowering residents of disaster-prone urban poor neighbourhoods, which will underpin the co-production of enhanced, context-specific understandings of local risks and the integration of the resulting data into decision-making procedures in disaster risk reduction and sustainable development monitoring. The project is conducted by a highly skilled multi-disciplinary research team (including social sciences, engineering and physical sciences) and adopts a dialogic co-production approach to citizen-generated data which relies upon well-established partnerships with community-based initiatives for local development, education and disaster risk reduction in Rio de Janeiro and Medellin, as well as with governmental agencies involved in disaster risk reduction and local planning and development.URBE Latam proceeds in four integrated components that seek an enhanced understanding of risks, vulnerabilities and local capabilities in disaster-prone urban areas: first it is centred on the engagement of citizens to generate data to expand understandings of risks at the neighbourhood level; second, citizens engagement in risk will be pursued alongside an analysis of socio-spatial inequalities in resilience and development indicators and policies at city and national level; third, this will lead to the recalibration of environmental risk mapping with citizen-generated data; fourth, these components are articulated and integrated within a framework to facilitate dialogic transformations across the different levels and stakeholders involved.The process of advancing these outputs will further enable capacity development in local communities and the governments of Rio de Janeiro and Medellin; a process which will be augmented by improving the awareness of stakeholders in other Latin American cities and countries through broader dissemination. Insights from collaboratively produced citizen-generated data will be integrated into the practices of disaster risk management and development monitoring (e.g. SDG reporting) in collaboration with international policymaking agencies, thus enabling transformations towards more equitable disaster risk reduction and sustainable development. As an overarching outcome, the project will enable the transformation of practices, improve knowledge among a diverse range of stakeholders and enhance capacity to promote equitable resilience.
