In physics, resilience is the capacity to resist impulses, to react to unexpected impacts without breaking apart. Designing resilient cities means favouring the ability of a community to modify itself in order to respond positively to climate changes that often create drastic effects on the form and operation of the urban landscape and the social, economic, and environmental characteristics that characterise it.
Finding tools suitable for governing the relationships between these changes and urban sustainability is a major challenge for the next decade. To hope to succeed, however, it is necessary to understand and interpret as well as possible the ecological cycles of the city, the safety of the urban environment, and the relationship between urban form and quality of life in order to then select those "landscape models" that can provide direction in defining new "urban models".
To reduce the negative effects of unexpected climate change and enhance the positive aspects, good governance therefore starts from resilience by selecting the best policies, plans, and projects for the regeneration of cities in crisis. The seminar "Resilient Landscapes" aims to open a discussion on these themes with the participation of internationally renowned scholars, basing it on experiences in applied research and the policies and plans of regions in Central Italy.
