Holistic urban landslide risk management-challenges and practice

摘要：

Landslides can pose an acute threat to lives and property in an urban environment, where intense development and other human and geographical factors combine to escalate the risk of slope failure. Tackling urban landslide problems calls for application of an holistic risk management strategy and system. It entails the use of engineering and non-engineering approaches, involving policy, legislative, administrative, technical, educational, community-based and emergency-preparedness provisions. These are showcased by the slope safety system that has been developed and implemented in managing landslide risk for sustainable development in Hong Kong.
