Description : Over the last decade, Turkey initiated several regulatory and institutional reforms to mitigate and reduce the impacts of seismic risk. The scale of financial and technical support required to enhance the seismic resilience of housing in Turkey is massive. Despite the development of a legal framework supporting disaster risk management-driven urban transformation, Turkey faces several ongoing policy and finance challenges. To support the preparation of the Urban Resilience Project the proposed City Resilience Program (CRP) funded TA program would support the preparation of:

• Specific area-based reviews of development potential and assess financial models for resilient infrastructure investments in 2 target municipalities
• A study on private sector capacity to invest in UR and Urban transformation projects and development of instruments to facilitate this sectors involvement in such projects
• Training on financial models for municipalities to utilize for urban transformation projects using the content from a guidebook that has been prepared under separate GFDRR funding.
• The objective of this consultancy is the development of TWO Technical Reviews of Development Potential in selected metropolitan for the municipalities
