| Summary: | The Kitakyushu Model is a methodology
developed in Kitakyushu City, Japan to provide appropriate
solutions for environmental challenges to pursue sustainable
urban development. It strives to be a methodology that
allows cities to easily apply sustainability more broadly
and in a holistic fashion, beyond isolated projects and
individual advice. The objective of this piece is to enhance
the current Kitakyushu Model by adding a subsector on the
linkage between solid waste management and disaster risk
management, particularly flood events. |
