Stopping Landslides in Andean cities 

The Andes is the pick of the world. A place which due to its geographical and geological characteristics had risen to form a beautiful chain of high mountains and volcanoes over which many cities had appeared.  Aesthetically is romantic and mesmerizing to contemplate and to live, but, phisically it comes with the real danger of landslides. This study deals with the increasing susceptibility to landslides of Andean cities caused by population, urban growth and uncertain extreme climate events. 

"This article is based on a literature review supporting a multidimensional conceptual framework to address
landslide risk reduction for the urban Andes context. It aims to complement the environmental dimension, which often shows the resulting physical condition of risk, with landslide risk root-causes by exploring socio-economic and socio-cultural dimensions and the policy and institutional apparatuses that accompany the former dimensions."
