This report outlines a five stage future proofing approach to help cities develop programmes of investment which meet their multiple objectives and utilise and build on the institutional capacities they have available.

The foundation for the work has been an integrated assessment of the risks, vulnerabilities, and capacities of 129 cities across 20 countries spanning Asia and Africa, and the development of five urban typologies to group these cities based on the most significant environmental risks they face. This covers cities from across DFID’s extensive country footprint with:

  • populations in excess of 750,000 people to allow for collection of available population data from relevant international agencies; and

  • availability of other comparable data.
