The quality and maintenance of infrastructure is often unequal across cities, benefiting some and increasing vulnerability of others. Some property is seen as dangerous and of lower value if highly exposed to risk . Similarly, areas suffering from disinvestment in infrastructure might have a high risk of flooding . Zoning and land use trade-offs have been seen to be unequally skewed in favour of prime real estate and economically valuable assets  . Urban planning reforms are therefore central to building a fairer urban adaptation response .
