Resilient cities have become a hot topic. But a hard truth is that resilient cities require resilient housing to cope with disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes, which can overwhelm local resources such rescue teams and hospital emergency rooms, especially in developing countries.

As World Bank Urban Development Specialist and Deeply Talks panelist Luis Triveno has noted: "If governments could apply triage to substandard housing, medical triage would be a much less frequent occurrence – because in the developing world, it is mainly housing that kills people, not disasters."

On this special episode of Deeply Talks, we discuss the key components of resilient housing, including the people, funding, technology and policies that are shaping this crucial emerging sector.
