As climate challenges intensify, the focus on creating resilient buildings has gained significant momentum. However, even the most resilient building cannot fully thrive in an unprepared urban environment. The resilience of buildings and cities are two sides of the same coin—one cannot exist without the other. To ensure safety, sustainability, and long-term economic viability, a holistic approach is needed where resilient buildings complement resilient cities.
Flooding, intensified by climate change, rising sea levels, and extreme weather, is a major global threat to lives, economies, and ecosystems. Urgent action is needed to address its devastating impacts.
The term “thermal mass” describes a material’s capacity to absorb, store, and release heat. Since it is essential for controlling interior temperatures, improving comfort, and lowering energy use, this idea is basic to sustainable architecture and energy-efficient building design.
Designing climate resilience water and sewage treatment systems is crucial for ensuring they can withstand and recover from climate challenges.
