Summary
Melaka is implementing policy-driven initiatives to become a resilient city amid increasing disaster risks in Asia. The study identifies that 70% of global disasters occur in Asia, with cities facing compounded threats from climate change, urbanization, socio-economic instability, terrorism, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, poverty, and endemic outbreaks. To address these challenges, Melaka is adopting strategic measures to enhance its resilience. The research employs literature and document analysis, examining relevant reports, policies, and literatures to assess the effectiveness of these initiatives. The findings aim to provide actionable insights for local authorities in Melaka, guiding them in preparing strategic directions and managing urban development to mitigate risks and foster long-term resilience.
