| dc.description.abstract | Rapid urbanization characterizing the recent growth of Colombian cities has accentuated pre-existing levels of poverty, and limited access to basic infrastructure and services. In general, there has been a lack of meaningful community engagement in traditional top-down urban planning policy and practice, and a lack of long-term planning frameworks to structure and orient a safer future for vulnerable groups across the country. According to the World Bank, Colombia concentrates the highest number of people that are vulnerable to potential earthquakes in the Andean Region, where this number accounted for 22.3 million people in 2009 -- roughly more than half of the total population, and more than in Ecuador and Bolivia combined. The same occurs with landslides and draught. There were 25.6 million people vulnerable to landslides (more than double the number of people vulnerable to this phenomenon in Bolivia and Ecuador combined) -- and there were 8.2 million people vulnerable to draught in Colombia that year. | |
