  19. Resilience… • Something old, something new…

  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 original form after it has been pulled, stretched, pressed, or bent

  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 changing systems that are continuously adapting to changing circumstances

  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.” ARUP, 2014

  23. Qualities of resilient systems • Flexible • Inclusive • Integrated • Redundant • Reflective • Robust • Resourceful ARUP, 2014

  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 – Climate change

  25. Disruptions • Disruptions are often traumatic • But disruptions can engender positive outcomes in resilient systems – Immigration • Young, entrepreneurial workforce • Economically vibrant ethnic districts • Increased travel by public transit

  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 • That is our challenge at this symposium

  28. So So wh what’ at’s ah ahead ad?

  29. This Afternoon (1) • WHAT ARE RESILIENT CITIES AND REGIONS, AND WHY SHOULD WE CARE? – Resilience for cities and regions: What it means, and why is it important? • Aidan Hughes , Principal, Arup – Resilience lessons from New Orleans • Alexandra Norton, Director of Organizational Effectiveness, City of New Orleans • PLANNING FOR RESILIENCE – Bill Fulton , FAICP, Director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University
