An open webinar series for policy makers, practitioners and researchers focussed on enhancing risk sensitive urban development, with a focus on low- and middle-income city contexts.

This webinar series is a joint initiative between Tomorrow’s Cities and the RISK KAN programme. The aim is to provide an online space for members to explore cutting edge science and policy initiatives and so forge new partnerships at the interface of urban and infrastructure planning with disaster risk management and climate change adaptation.

Each webinar will typically last 60 minutes, running 12.00-13.00 UK time. Webinars will be held on the final Wednesday each month. The first webinar is on 25 February 2026.

You can enrol to join a webinar through the Tomorrow’s Cities website through this link: https://tomorrowscities.org/community-of-practice/

Email invitations will also be circulated. To join the email list please note this on the enrolment form.

Tomorrow’s Cities brings together researchers, policy makers and practitioners from urban planning and risk management across ten cities: Rapti and Kathmandu (Nepal), Cox’s Bazar and Chattogram (Bangladesh), Nablus (Palestine), Istanbul (Turkey), Quito (Ecuador), Nairobi and Nakuru (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).

The RISK Knowledge Action Network, and in particular its Cities and Infrastructure Working Group brings together international, interdisciplinary researchers and policy actors working on risk and resilience in urban contexts or on critical infrastructure. It is sponsored by the International Science Council under its Future Earth programme.
