Abstract
This Resilient Urban Infrastructure
Guidelines forms one of a suite of reports developed by
AECOM for the World Bank Group under the ‘Enhancement of
Resilient Urban Planning and Infrastructure Investments in
Urban Areas in Kenya’ assignment and constitutes Deliverable
2. This guidance note provides simple guidance for
increasing the resilience of municipal infrastructure
projects, and of communities, to physical risks, notably
impacts of climate changes. This will increase the
sustainability of investments under Second Kenya Urban
Support Program (KUSP2), enabling them to perform their
required function for their proposed design life, in a
changing climate. It follows, roughly chronologically, the
project development and design process. For the purposes of
this note, resilient urban infrastructure is defined as
infrastructure that is designed to deliver essential
services now and in the future. It is prepared for and can
withstand, adapt and recover positively from the physical
(and climatic) shocks and stresses it may face over its
lifetime. This is both with regards to the assets
themselves, as well as the wider system that these assets
are part of, which could include: the natural environment,
the urban system, the operators, and the communities that
interact with them.
