Indore City Resilience Strategy - ImagineIndore.org

MESSAGE
This is a moment of great pleasure for Indore city as it takes one more step forward in the fight against climate change related risks. Being a global challenge,
climate change has started hitting the city for a long time and there was a need to study the relation of possible Climate Change and their impacts on different
developmental aspects of the city.
As per an estimates, by 2030 more than 60 percent of the world's population will live in urban areas, with most of the world’s population growth over the next
twenty-five years will be absorbed by cities and towns in low and middle income countries. Today, nearly one billion people live in slums, and in the absence of
significant intervention that number is set to double in the next two decades.
Remarkably, Indore is also a city that needs sincere efforts in order to deal with the growing threat of climate change related risks. As the study under ACCCRN
reveals, Indore is among the vulnerable cities of India and there is an urgent need for interdisciplinary interventions on several fronts. The present document is
an example of the city’s readiness to bring the issue among the planners and managers. This effort signifies the spirit of the city to fight the climate change allied
possible risks in the most efficient way for the city.
I believe the effort in the form of this City Resilience Strategy (CRS) document will help the planners, policymakers and the managers to efficiently deal the
challenges ahead and I wish them all the success.
