Resilientcity
Resilientcity is a concept describing urban systems and communities that are designed to anticipate, absorb, recover from, and adapt to a wide range of adverse events, including natural hazards, climate change impacts, economic shocks, and social stresses. The aim is to maintain essential services such as water, power, transportation, healthcare, and communications during and after disruptions, while preserving livability and functionality.
Core elements of a resilient city include robust and redundant infrastructure, flexible land use, and green-blue
Planning and design practices focus on hazard-informed urban development, climate adaptation, and building codes that enforce
Implementation often involves cross-sector partnerships, long-term asset management, and innovative financing mechanisms such as resilience funds
Evaluation uses metrics such as recovery time, continuity of services, exposure reduction, and system redundancy, complemented
