ADPC's vision for urban areas is to assist cities managing and mitigating the urban disaster risks of the urban communities by creating an enabling environment. ADPC provides technical assistance to cities for planning and building enhancing their capacities helping in development of data such as, spatial distribution of potential hazardous areas and promoting interventions for effective emergency response planning and management system in cities.
Urban disaster risk reduction pursued by ADPC is primarily focused on demonstrating sound practices for responding to, preparing for and mitigating against multiple hazards and disaster events. Efforts are also made to strengthen national-level institutions, working in the urban sector such as urban development authorities and expanding their influence in exercising good urban governance.
