dc.descriptionThis report analyses the interactions between urban development and environmental conditions in Georgetown, using an integrated environmental assessment framework. It reviews climatic, physical, and socio-economic characteristics of the city, and evaluates environmental quality across air, water, land, and coastal systems. The assessment identifies key pressures including rapid urban expansion, inadequate infrastructure, weak regulation, and poor waste and water management. These conditions contribute to flooding, pollution, ecosystem degradation, and increased public health risks. The report also outlines institutional arrangements, policy frameworks, and stakeholder roles involved in environmental management. Scenario analysis and stakeholder consultations are used to examine future risks and responses, emphasising the need for coordinated planning, strengthened institutions, and improved environmental governance.en
