resiliencebydesign
Resilience by design refers to an approach in which resilience thinking is embedded into the creation and operation of systems, spaces, and organizations from the earliest stages of design. The goal is to reduce vulnerability to disruptions and to enable rapid, effective recovery when disturbances occur, whether from natural hazards, technical failure, or social and economic stress.
The concept is applied across domains such as urban planning and infrastructure, information technology and software,
Key principles include anticipating shocks, designing for flexibility and modularity, decoupling critical functions, and providing multiple
Common methods include scenario planning, fault-tolerance analysis, stresses testing, diversity of suppliers, data backups, and distributed
Measurement uses resilience-specific metrics such as mean time to recovery (MTTR), recovery time objective (RTO), and
Critiques note that resilience by design can raise upfront costs and may trade off efficiency. Effective implementation
