Abstract: This study develops a methodology to characterize multi-hazard risk scenarios in Global South cities, focusing on Nairobi and Istanbul. In Nairobi, it maps 19 hazard types and 88 interrelationship pairs, including cascading hazards like floods triggering landslides and urban fires. The research uses systematic review and stakeholder engagement to co-develop risk scenarios. It identifies siloed governance and poor integration in DRR strategies. It proposes a framework for data-scarce urban planning, inclusive resilience, and scenario-based policy action. An open-access database catalogs hazard evidence.
