Rapid urbanization, population growth and the impact of climate change make urban resilience an urgent need in Bangladesh. An integrated approach to incorporate urban planning, development studies, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development is important in this regard. The consideration of disaster risk in community-based initiatives and policies creates opportunities to increase resilience. In the scope of projects of the German -Bangladesh technical cooperation, geo-information was acquired to support sustainable urban planning in Dhaka and other cities in Bangladesh. Technical training of staff in the Geological Survey of Bangladesh and close interaction with stakeholders from the different urban areas are fundamental to the success of the projects.
