Abstract

The relationship between infrastructure development and intensifying climate crisis is generating new cycles of 24-hour risks in the urban global South. These risks are particularly severe in low-income neighbourhoods and informal settlements. They create complex micro-geographies of risk, unfolding across time, space, multiple scales, and intersectionality, compounding gendered vulnerabilities. Complex interactions between risks and infrastructure development are overlooked in research and policy action at the urban scale. Research from Karachi and Nairobi points to opportunities to build resilient infrastructures that strengthen and support community networks and inclusion.
