Background
Overview
This concept directly relates to urban governance, public administration, the role of local self-government, regulatory mechanisms, and accountability in public services. It is a recurring theme in urban challenges and disaster preparedness (preventive aspect).
Urban public safety, particularly concerning fire hazards, relies on robust regulatory frameworks, effective enforcement by local authorities, and strict compliance by establishments. Failures in any of these aspects can lead to recurring tragedies, highlighting systemic governance gaps in urban planning and administration.
