Information

Resilient cities

Resilient cities are those that can withstand, adapt to, and recover from environmental, social, and economic shocks and stresses while maintaining essential functions, structures, and identities. Resilient cities prioritize sustainable and inclusive development, leveraging their assets and resources to build and maintain physical, social, and economic resilience. This includes investing in infrastructure, social services, emergency preparedness and response, and community engagement to build strong and adaptive communities that can thrive in situations of adversity. Resilient cities aim to ensure the safety, security, and well-being of their residents while promoting a sustainable and equitable future for all.
