Sustainable development and disaster risk reduction are key concerns of today’s urban development driven by a heightened urgency to address the adverse impacts of climate change. A recent Colliers report delved into the significant demand for eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and disaster-resilient homes.
“Our design philosophy is grounded in the idea of creating the perfect home and community Filipino’s aspire to own,” said Sy. Each SMDC community features hotel-like and resort-style facilities that serve the wellness of residents and foster social ties among them. To top up the conveniences, comforts and safety enjoyed by residents, a commercial strip or retail complex is seamlessly integrated into every SMDC development.A true catalyst for nation-building, SMDC recognizes its responsibility as a private sector partner in the country’s thrust towards DRR.
Attention to the environment is the most apparent in SMDC’s disaster resilience plan. For one, their property designs are anchored on persistent efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as each SMDC community’s carbon footprint. SMDC strictly complies with solid waste management, waste segregation, and correct onward disposal standards in all of its developments. Centralized sewage treatment plants or dedicated septic tanks are provided as appropriate, and materials recovery facilities are maximized to uphold recycling practices in the community.
“More than just building condominiums, we build communities of people. We are conduits of nation-building, and we create a positive impact on the lives of our residents and the broader community that we belong to,” Sy shared.One thing often overlooked in DRR is that disasters often exacerbate existing gender inequities. Studies show that women are more vulnerable during and after disasters due to limited access to education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities.
The obvious is to stop letting people burn everything. Its out of control
