The Green Book is to be used as a planning and design tool by municipalities and others (private, NGOs, educators). The Green Book will look at cities holistically and propose differentiated adaptation options for distinctive types of vulnerable settlements with similar types of risk profiles. Focus is on settlements smaller than 2 million people, to potentially benefit more than 18 million people as well as many under capacitated municipalities. The application of the guidelines will improve the resilience and reduce vulnerability of at risk populations living in SA settlementsenGreen BookUrbanisationSouth African settlementsHuman capital urbanisationConference PresentationVan Niekerk, C.
