The event is hosted by two project groups. The first, Post Disasters Recovery in Urban Areas Research Group aims at the strengthening of linkages between political authorities and practitioners in three thematic areas in regard of Cities facing disasters: Potentials for Risk Prevention, Emergency Resilience and Reconstruction Management. The second, EDUCEN Horizon 2020 project premises that culture is not just a challenge creating barriers, but in fact reservoirs of available assets to prevent, mitigate, prepare for, cope with and adapt to disaster risk cognitively and practically. After the presentation of the two projects by the leaders of the two teams, Myrian Larco Benítez (Universidad Tecnologica Equinoccial de Quito) and Sylvia Jiménez Riofrío (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador) will facilitate the discussion on the basis of the following questions, How to promote integration, preparedness and disaster risk reduction in urban management and policy making? How to improve the emergency responses and resilience at a local and community level after a major catastrophe occurs? How cultural memory of disasters and crises can be enhanced bearing in mind different social groups and disaster risk reduction? How to face the concrete, material issues of recovery and reconstruction of the built stock in integrated reconstruction management? What would be the pressure of the specific problems in today’s cities, such as: deprived urban areas, income equality, migration, in disaster risk reduction? What role can green infrastructure play in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation? The prospective speakers for this debate are: Roberto Moris (CIGIDEN/Universidad Católica de Chile), Nury Bermudéz (National Coordinator UNDP Risk Management), Allan Lavell (FLACSO & LA RED), Fernando Briones (LA RED & INSTAAR/University of Colorado,Boulder). The conclusions will be entrusted to Simon Sfriso, curator of the Italian Pavilion at the XV International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale.
