Determinants of household resilience to fire in informal settlements
Fire incident in informal settlements is a complex phenomenon that results in destructive outcomes, and therefore, demands the development of resilience at the household level. Building resilience to fire in these households is often an outcome of the interplay among various factors, which is yet to be examined in the Indian context. In this study, we take the case of the informal settlements ( bastis ) in Delhi, India, and attempt to explore the…
Intersecting inequalities and urban heat adaptation
Generic labels of vulnerable groups in heat planning miss intersecting inequalities. • Structural deficiencies and anti-poor policies exacerbate thermal suffering. • Intersectional disadvantage is detrimental and limits adaptation to excessive heat. • Inclusive heat management needs to address uneven thermal insecurities. Urban heat management often fails marginalised dwellers and communities due to inadequate attention to multidimensional vulner…
