No Planet B: Designing a More Resilient Future

Description:

Resilience is an expanding theme in today’s world. Having been made acutely aware of the fragility of our cities, economies, and people, attention now turns to safe-guarding and future-proofing. What this looks like in the context of the built environment, how it is achieved and the effect this has on health and well-being, is the focus of this session. Here, we question the current modus operandi of our cities and go back to the drawing board to determine what a truly resilient urban system looks like in reality. It will look at increasing capacity for recovery, mechanisms for withstanding crisis and adapting to change, while also previewing the Resiliency Accelerator Index™ - a bespoke diagnostic tool informed by CRTKL’s key factors that assesses and grades the ability to be resilient.
