These unprecedented challenges require a bold, innovative reimagining of what the urban future will look like in a Caribbean Small Island Developing State (SIDS) context. Urban planning policymakers and practitioners, as they launch a multi-pronged approach to address rapid urbanization, increasingly high levels of urban population, and rising demands for land, housing, and basic urban services, are confronted by past colonization, current climate change, and the socio-economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Augustine and Coordinating Lead Author of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report Working Group II, Small IslandsĬaribbean cities face urban issues that warrant transformative solutions for inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable urban development.
