Jamaica’s Minister Robert Nesta Morgan warned that where you live directly shapes your quality of life, with poorly planned areas suffering from lack of infrastructure, jobs, schools, and safety. At the 15th Caribbean Urban Forum, leaders from across the region united to tackle urban resilience amid climate threats, stressing collaboration over division. Mayor Andrew Swaby and Opposition Leader Mark Golding agreed that disasters like Hurricane Melissa expose critical planning gaps—and that learning from them is vital. McKenzie added that Jamaica’s rapid urbanization, especially near coasts, demands smarter, unified planning. The takeaway? Stronger Caribbean cities aren’t just about recovery—they’re built on proactive, cooperative systems that work before the storm hits.
