Urban Fellow's Publication: Using Simulations of Future Extreme Weather Events to Escape the Resilience Trap: Experimental Evidence from HongKong
🌊 In this paper...
Researchers examine Hong Kong’s “resilience trap,” where past successes in mitigating tropical cyclone impacts have led to public complacency about future hashtag#ClimateRisks. Using simulations of future extreme weather events, they show how hashtag#VirtualExperiences can increase public hashtag#RiskAwareness and encourage proactive hashtag#AdaptationMeasures, reducing reliance on costly, reactive responses to climate-amplified disasters.
đź’ˇ This points to...
The potential of innovative tools like simulations to hashtag#VaccinateCities against complacency, driving public support for forward-looking resilience strategies. It highlights the importance of creative approaches to overcoming the challenges of preparedness in hyper-dense urban populations.
🏖️ Relevance to Singapore’s coastal protection efforts...
As a hashtag#CoastalCity, hashtag#Singapore faces similar risks and can leverage these findings to enhance hashtag#PublicEngagement. Simulation-based strategies can increase awareness of future climate risks, foster urgency for proactive measures, and strengthen resilience planning.
