A Conceptual Framework To Assess ResilienceIn Fragile Cities

Sustainability is about putting in place solutions that will yield a positive legacy. Resilience is about putting in place solutions that are resistant to future uncertainties. Large investments are being made today to make our cities more sustainable; the success of these investments depends on their resilience and how the future develops. However, predicting the future is complex - perhaps the only certainties are that there will be change, and that we must learn to live within the resource limitations of our planet. Those involved in urban development and regeneration will influence the resilience and sustainability of our cities through their responses to influencing factors such as climate change, population growth, the global economy, and planning regulation. A variety of hazards threaten cities; thus, planning for resilience in the face of urban disaster is important. Resilience is widely interpreted as a key principle to re-frame urban policies, paving the way to urban strategies capable of better coping with contemporary challenges. This paper introduces a preliminary analytical framework that re-conceptualizes fragility and resilience at the city level.
