The document discusses a research platform for post-disaster urban responses in Haiti. The platform is hosted by Delft University of Technology and brings together various partners to conduct research focused on rebuilding efforts in Haiti. This includes investigating rural resilience strategies, landscape improvements, and contributing to relief and rebuilding in coordination with local governments and organizations. The goal is to support redevelopment in Haiti through applied research conducted based on requirements from local partners.
