Every city has communities navigating harder paths—and still they shape their future
Each has its own story of resilience
RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
Melaka
In Melaka, resilience is woven into the communities of Kampung Morten and Pantai Peringgit. Families and older residents live with intense heat, frequent floods and financial hardship that make daily life harder. Even so, they care for their heritage, support each other and work together to build safer streets, cooler homes and a thriving riverside — shaping solutions that strengthen resilience every day.
MELAKA

Melaka is a UNESCO World Heritage City renowned for its rich history and multicultural heritage. Tourism tied to this status is the backbone of the local economy, making the city highly dependent on preserving its cultural assets.

But rising risks are putting this identity in jeopardy. Recurring floods, water shortages, aging infrastructure and extreme heat threaten heritage neighborhoods, strain city services and expose vulnerabilities for residents and the tourism sector alike. To respond, the state developed Resilient Melaka, a strategy to protect heritage and strengthen resilience through coordinated action, improved flood management and community preparedness.
