both acute shocks and
chronic stresses.

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

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”
