Resilience…

(20)

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

(21)

Planning for Resilience

• An age-old concept

• Emerged in its current context from the field

of ecology in the 1970s

–

Resilient ecosystems maintain or recover

functionality in the event of disruption or

disturbance

• Like ecosystems, cities are complex, ever

(22)

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.”

(23)

(24)

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

(25)

Disruptions

• Disruptions are often traumatic

• But disruptions can engender positive

outcomes in resilient systems

–

Immigration

(26)

(27)

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
