With the aim of driving awareness and growth around shaping Smart Places, we are asking leading voices in the global resilience ecosystem to contribute to this discussion by sharing their insights, vision and future-forward methodologies to create Resilience in Cities.
Impacts on people and economic assets from extreme weather and natural hazards occur at different scales and on different timescales. The good news is that water risks and their impact can be reduced by taking measures and making changes in processes, practices, systems and structures that respond to both global and local contexts. These entail combining adaptation, mitigation and disaster management through climate resilient strategies, master planning and infrastructure.
