Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan Province, has been honored by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) for its achievements in reconstruction since the magnitude-8.0 earthquake on May 12, 2008.

In the Third United Nations Conference on the Global Platform for Disaster Reduction on May 11 Swiss local time, the UNISDR granted the Role Model for Resilient Development award to Xie Ruiwu, deputy mayor of Chengdu.

Role Model for Resilient Development, a major award of the conference, is aimed at honoring cities which have made outstanding achievements in post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction and can provide experience and examples for other cities in the world to emulate.

In 2010, North Vancouver in Canada and six other cities in the world became the first laureates of the award. This year, Chengdu and other seven cities such as Venice in Italy and Mumbai in India became the second batch of laureates, and Chengdu is the first Chinese city to have won the award.

Constrution of its some 1,000 sites for emergency evacuation has started.. Construction of western China's largest and most advanced disaster emergency rescue training base has been completed, Xie said.

In addition, the city investigated sites of potential secondary disasters after the quake, relocating farmers living there, harnessing the sites and improving the capacity of buildings to resist more devastating earthquakes, he said.

Participants to the conference spoke highly of the experience of the city and its work in the past three years.
