Main Event: Launch of the Resilient and Inclusive Cities Hub (RICH): Because the cities of the future need to work for all

With rapid urbanization and increasing challenges posed by climate change, cities are at a pivotal moment in reshaping their own future. Urban areas must adapt to be inclusive and resilient, ensuring that no one is left behind, especially persons with disabilities who face disproportionate risks from disasters, harshening environmental conditions, lack of consideration during reconstruction efforts, inaccessible infrastructure and exclusion from planning processes.  

 The Resilient and Inclusive Cities Hub (RICH) focuses on integrating inclusion and resilience into urban development, disaster risk reduction as well as recovery and reconstruction efforts to address accessibility gaps and ensure meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in all phases of urban planning and governance. The aim is to foster partnerships, drive innovative projects and build a global knowledge-sharing platform to disseminate best practices for disability-inclusive urban resilience.
