| Summary: | As urban growth and development continue at a breathtaking
pace across the world, cities are increasingly
bearing the brunt of conflicts, crises and disasters, which
themselves are growing in number, magnitude and complexity.
The convergence of these two trends – increasing
urbanization and growing crises – demands an enhanced
approach to city reconstruction and recovery, one that
puts culture at its heart. Elaborated by the World Bank and
UNESCO, this Position Paper outlines one such approach,
the Framework for Culture in City Reconstruction and
Recovery, also known as the CURE Framework.
The CURE Framework is a culture-based approach to
the process of city reconstruction and recovery in post
conflict, post disaster and urban distress situations that
accounts for the needs, values and priorities of people.
