Resilience…

• Something old, something new…

A familiar, even common term

• The ability to become strong, healthy, or

successful again after a shock or stress

• The ability of something to return to its
• riginal form after it has been pulled,

stretched, pressed, or bent

Planning for Resilience

• An age-old concept
• Emerged in its current context from the field
• f ecology in the 1970s

– Resilient ecosystems maintain or recover functionality in the event of disruption or disturbance

• Like ecosystems, cities are complex, ever

changing systems that are continuously adapting to changing circumstances

Resilience Cities

• A recent focus of the Rockefeller Foundation

“City resilience describes the capacity of cities to function, so that the people living and working in cities – particularly the poor and vulnerable – survive and thrive no matter what stresses or shocks they encounter.”

ARUP, 2014

Qualities of resilient systems

• Flexible
• Inclusive
• Integrated
• Redundant
• Reflective
• Robust
• Resourceful

ARUP, 2014

Disruptions

• Focus is often on trauma

– Environmental/physical

• Severe weather events
• Earthquakes

– Cultural/Political

• Terrorist attack
• Cyber attack
• But disruptions can take many forms, and emerge

suddenly or gradually

– Great Recession – Climate change

Disruptions

• Disruptions are often traumatic
• But disruptions can engender positive
• utcomes in resilient systems

– Immigration

• Young, entrepreneurial workforce
• Economically vibrant ethnic districts
• Increased travel by public transit

What does resilience really mean for public policy and planning practice?

• Like other powerful and elusive terms…
• - Like sustainability or quality of life --
• …if resilience comes to mean almost anything,

then it may mean almost nothing

• The challenge to take a provocative concept,
• And apply it in concrete ways to the world of

public policy and planning practice

• That is our challenge at this symposium
