Currently, 828 million slum dwellers are highly exposed to climate change and natural disasters, due partly to substandard housing but also to segregation and inequality.

Meeting these challenges will determine a city's success and quality of life. Decisions and policies may lock a city into a long-term physical form that proves suboptimal over time. Undesirable physical forms can set back a city's development for decades.
