Resilient City Infrastructure Network
A collaborative environment to explore an integrated systems approach to planning city resilienceProviding city planners and developers with access to innovative tools and knowledge-sharing platform that support a systems approach to planning urban resilience.
Meet and discuss resilient infrastructure planning with peers from other cities and share common challenges and experiences. Learn how a systems approach to city planning can help you build on the strengths of existing infrastructure to increase productivity, build resilience, and reduce the need for infrastructure investment by up to 40%
