Urbanisation meets the environment: How can communities manage migration and protect against floods in a coastal Mozambican city?

Project Active from 1 Mar 2023 to 30 Sep 2025 Sustainable Growth and Cities

This study examines how communities in Mozambique can manage urban development risks and prevent climate-related disasters through a series of community-level interventions. The study measures local perceptions about behaviours related to urban development and the integration of migrants, as well as other mediators related to community mobilisation and leader behaviours.
