Outline

This session is the first part of two MIRAI sessions. The MIRAI sessions draw on the MIRAI network, a collaboration between 17 Swedish and Japanese universities, aiming to contribute to long-term research collaboration and to promote Sweden and Japan as nations of world-leading large-scale research infrastructure. The third phase of MIRAI (2024-2026) embarks on a bold mission to focus on global challenges to be tackled collaboratively. By this, MIRAI aspires to contribute not only to the Sweden-Japan collaborations but also to global issues that should be discussed and handled across nations on an international scale. This session brings researchers from urban planning, law, political sciences, anthropology, and environmental sciences together to share their expertise on resilient cities and communities. They will draw from their
interdisciplinary knowledge and experience to discuss the pressing issues urban communities face in Asia, Europe, and beyond to address some of the topics put forward by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and other targets to build a more resilient world.
