Making Cities Resilient Report 2012

CHAPTER 1 | Enabling conditions for building resilience
Box 1.4 : City-to-City Sharing Initiative - Makati City, Quito and Kathmandu
Based on the objectives of the Ten Essentials for Making Cities Resilient, local government representatives from all three
cities participated in a series of exchanges to share best practices and experience in managing and reducing urban
risk through improved land use planning, emergency management, and heightened public awareness. Kathmandu
and Quito used Makati City’s approach to emergency management systems and community-based disaster
management to benchmark their own plans in these areas, while Makati learned from Kathmandu's experience with
private sector organisations on disaster risk management and public awareness campaigns. City representatives also
shared preservation and rehabilitation strategies to protect their cultural heritage. Under the programme, supported
by the Global Facility for Disaster reduction and Recovery, the participating cities also act as international and regional
resource centers with other cities in their respective countries and regions.
CityNet recognised their achievements and the cities were presented with a City-to-City Cooperation award in July 2012.
