Urban Triage

Urban Triage is a strategy used in city planning and management to prioritize resources and interventions in urban areas based on need and impact. Similar to medical triage, where patients are prioritized based on the severity of their condition, urban triage assesses various factors—like poverty, health, and infrastructure—to identify communities or areas that require urgent attention. By focusing on the most critical needs, cities can allocate resources more effectively, improve services, and foster more equitable growth, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality of life for all residents.
