This session aims to explore how cities and regions in China and Africa can enhance the resilience of their transport and railway infrastructure in the face of rapid urbanization and intensifying climate risks. Discussions will examine the risks faced by urban and regional transport networks—including railways, roads, and transit hubs—under extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves, and storms. The session will highlight innovative practices and policy instruments related to climate-resilient design, smart transport systems, and green mobility solutions. Urban planners, transport engineers, technology enterprises, financial institutions, and railway authorities will be invited to jointly discuss potential areas and directions for collaboration at the intersection of resilient transport infrastructure and climate adaptation in Chinese and African contexts.
