Urban Infrastructure Resilience Programme (UIRP)

With cities generating 80% of global Gross Domestic Product and rapid urbanization expected to bring 70% of the world’s population into urban areas by 2050, the need for resilient infrastructure has never been more critical. Extreme climatic events increasingly threaten urban systems, making proactive adaptation essential.

CDRI’s urban resilience programme helps Coalition Member Countries integrate climate and disaster resilience into infrastructure planning, operation, and maintenance, augmenting investments, ensuring sustainable and resilient urban growth.

With over 100 proposals received in response to the Call for Proposals, 15 cities across five countries will soon benefit from impactful, scalable solutions for safer urban futures.
