Abstract	Rapid growth of urban population has concentrated people, jobs, and properties in areas exposed to high risks from hazards and shocks. Globally, more people live now in urban areas than rural areas, and by 2050, it is projected that nearly 70% of the world’s population will be urban. Cities, therefore, have huge responsibilities in ensuring the health, safety and well-being of its growing number of residents. Subsequently, strengthening urban resilience is the key to sustainable development and enhanced prosperity.
