Resilience

Urban resilience

The ability of a city's residents, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems to survive, adapt, and thrive despite stresses or sudden shocks. 

Social resilience

Building communities that can prepare, adjust and respond to problems, surprises, and changes.

What are the four pillars of resilience?

  • Local governance and planning

    This pillar focuses on strong leadership, clear rules, and smart planning. It helps cities manage resources, make good decisions, and get ready for future challenges.

  • Health and wellbeing

    This pillar ensures everyone, especially those who need the most help, can get health services, food, water, and a clean place to live. It helps keep both our bodies and minds healthy.

  • Economy and society

    This pillar aims to build a diverse, stable, and inclusive economy. It also promotes social connections and networks, helping people and businesses handle and adapt to problems.

  • Infrastructure and environment

    This pillar looks at how strong and flexible important buildings and systems are, and how well we protect nature. These provide essential services and help a city recover from disruptions.
