Resilience strategies, climate action plans, and disaster preparedness plans are tools that cities are increasingly developing in order to address future challenges. How are cities thinking about and engaging their vulnerable communities and groups that have historically not been part of planning processes? Layla Kilolu, a graduate student in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Hawaii at Manoa will share best practices of participatory planning from her field research in the Asia-Pacific region which include Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Melbourne, Seoul, and Manila, as well as several U.S. cities.
