Protecting Urban Areas

Protecting urban areas involves implementing strategies to reduce risks from natural hazards, disasters, and security threats. This includes designing resilient infrastructure, enforcing building codes, creating emergency plans, and promoting community awareness. The goal is to minimize damage, ensure safety, and enhance recovery capacity during events like earthquakes, floods, terrorist attacks, or other crises. Effective protection combines planning, engineering, technology, and public cooperation to sustain safe, functional cities capable of withstanding and quickly recovering from adverse events.
