Human Settlements Division <strong>(HSD)</strong> of <strong>NBRO</strong> is one of the unique technical divisions having the capacity for handling human settlement planning related research in the country. Also, the research capacities of the Building Materials, Landslide Services and Studies, Environmental, Structural Engineering &amp; Project Management and Geotechnical Engineering divisions will be an added strength in enhancing this multidisciplinary research study. This is one good example of having multidisciplinary capacities in one agency especially for research work required by interdisciplinary studies such as human settlements adaptation to climate change.</span></span></span></p> <p><a href="HSDNews/HSDNewsclimate.pdf"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-size: small;">See Attachment</span></span></strong></a></p>
