functions is threatened by

both acute shocks and

chronic stresses.

Urban Resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience.

dimensions

wellbeing of everyone living and working in

the city”

Organisation“the social and

financial systems that enable urban populations to live

peacefully, and act collectively

14

Place“the way in which

man-made and natural

infrastructure provides critical

services and protects, and

connects urban citizens.”

Knowledge“effective

leadership, empowered

stakeholders, and integrated planning”
