    The Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP II) has adopted a three-pronged approach to urban risk reduction in Bangladeshi cities. The approach includes conducting seismic and landslide assessments, implementing community-based risk reduction projects, and promoting risk-informed city planning. CDMP II also works to revise building codes, conduct awareness campaigns, and introduce retrofitting technologies to make cities safer. The goal is to help cities manage risks from natural hazards as rapid urbanization has made them vulnerable to disasters.

    Cities Have always been our engines for growth


    With urbanisation, migration, modernisation,
    they grow into megacities
    But unplanned, uncontrolled, unsafe

    They become deathtraps.
