This report is  one of the steps along the way towards developing an Urban Disaster Resilience Road Map and Asia Pacific Urban Disaster Resilience (UDR) Hub. The Roadmap will provide strategic orientation and operational guidance for implementing the urban agenda in the Asia Pacific region, it will outline the things that RCRC need to do to meet the needs of urban populations in the Asia Pacific, now and in the future.

The process began with a scoping study followed by a survey of National Societies and IFRC staff. The themes that emerged were used to shape an Urban Resilience Think Tank Meeting in Manila in July 2018.
