This book aims to stimulate debate about risk reduction in urban settings and identify key issues for further advocacy. The authors propose a conceptual framework for understanding urban vulnerability and link the concept with disaster risk. Features case studies from five countries (Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe), with a particular emphasis on youth, health, and the environment. Authors examine urban-based initiatives to counter threats to urban livelihoods, ranging from insufficient food, pesticide contamination, fires, environmental hazards associated with poverty and inadequate servicing, to the social pathologies of crime.Published by Periperi Publications Cape Town (South Africa)
