Challenges
Major challenges –
- Absence of funds
- Vulnerable big cities did not adhere to the bylaws
- Poor workmanship and concrete ill-designed techniques
- Lack of R and D
- Lack of knowledge in using the material and hazardous and haphazard development
- Absence of a proper regulatory framework
- Lack of adequate Bye laws in small-medium towns.
Suggestions-
- Making CRI- a priority
- Integrating climate resilience with environmental sanctions
- Adoption of innovative architectural designs (as done in Tamil Nadu coastal cities after the tsunami)
- Access to improved knowledge and traditional craftsmanship
- Using low-cost sustainable material for Poor’s.
- Adopting the use of thatch and bamboo which are resilient to a wind speed of 160 kmph with easier possibilities of rebuilding
- Risk classification of buildings with adequate policy support
- Making flood risk assessment flood plain management mandatory.
