Please join us for the final Utzon Lecture for 2018 and Annual Judith Neilson Lecture

Reducing risk, building resilience

We live in a rapidly changing word, where no city or community is immune to accumulating risk from rapid urbanisation and climate change. The well-being of a growing world population in ordinary circumstances, and their ability survive extraordinary events relies on buildings, neighbourhoods and cities being safe, inclusive and resilient. But, what does this mean in practice? What is the role of architects, engineers and other built environment professionals in ensuring no one is left behind and able to survive and thrive whatever happens?

Director at Arup International Development Jo da Silva will share lessons learned from Arup’s experiences over the past 10 years working with marginalised communities, responding to humanitarian crises, and collaborating with international donors and civil society organisations to deliver projects and develop new approaches that reduce risk and build resilience
