Abstract
This chapter focuses on landslip types and presents their classification according to the kinematics, rate of movement and other features. Experience in slopes in many different regions, mainly in Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, is briefly described. This chapter also deals with slope management programmes in Hong Kong and Rio de Janeiro for landslip risk reduction.
