What constitutes the contemporary networked urban system? : Ecological models based on people knowledge: a multy – step fuzzy cognitive mapping approach. 7–14 (2010). : Community resilience as a metaphor, theory, set of capacities, and strategy for disaster readiness. It examines how the concepts and principles of resilience exert increasing significant influence over the form and function of planning. Communities must process this impact with flexibility, and Cities must reorient their thinking and come together to adjust to this new reality if they are to emerge stronger from this challenge. Vennix, J.A.M. The above definition has been developed through a series of rigorous studies examining and identifying the taxonomies of urban resilience across several disciplines, importantly, the definition remains diverse and adaptable. Recently, the most widely recognised ways of resilience are from Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Terrorism. Online bestellen oder in der Filiale abholen. It examines how the concepts and principles of resilience exert increasing significant influence over the form and function of planning. However, as we broadly understand resilience to deal with a system’s ability to respond and adapt to shock, we must first understand what is comprised within the urban system and what is the resultant outcome of this complex system. : Designing, planning, and managing resilient cities: a conceptual framework. Secur. Resilience in urban infrastructures 4. Existing definitions are inconsistent and underdeveloped with respect to incorporation of crucial concepts found in both resilience theory and urban theory. At a time when the urban resilience literature mainly addresses broader socio-economic and environmental systems, and there is a near-absence of literature that focuses on personal wellbeing in resilience, we are now undoubtedly witnessing the unpredictability and intensity of hazards and disasters. City Sci. Urban resilience: the ability of an urban system-and all its constituent socio-ecological and socio-technical networks across temporal and spatial scales to maintain or rapidly return to desired functions in the face of a disturbance, to adapt to change and to quickly transform systems that limit current or future adaptive capacity. Meerow, S., Newell, J.P.: Urban resilience for whom, what, when, where, and why?

Often understood as the first governmental agency to respond or prepare for natural disaster recovery/mitigation, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) have suggested that international efforts to implement urban resilience may not necessarily materialise and improve disaster risk reduction at the local level – often, this can manifest in tension between local and national policies.

Canesi, R., D’Alpaos, C., Marella, G.: Forced sale values vs. market values in Italy. A simplified timeline of resilience theory and the formation of urban resilience. Conceptual tensions between ecological and engineering definitions of resilience are widely documented; often ecological resilience refers to a system as having multiple stable states, whereas engineering refers to resilience as having one equilibrium. Urban Plan. Resilience has become an important goal for cities, particularly in the face of climate change. : Development of a system dynamics model for sustainable land use management. Ozemi, U., Ozemi, S.L. [22] Dicken, Peter. Manag. Sustain. Resilience Theory Origins Resilience is a term originating in ecological literature, popularised by Crawford Stanley Holling’s seminal paper, Resilience and Stability of Ecological Systems. This contemporary operationalisation of urban resilience has materialised, for example, in Singapore, where researchers and practitioners have responded to both the AVA (Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore) and the Singaporean Institute of Architect’s (SIA) call to increase Singapore’s future food security via architectural/urban design solutions. This urban condition seems to diverge from views on urban resilience, as emphasized by Mehmood (2016), who considers it the formulation of immediate responses to disaster as well as long-term adaptation and mitigation strategies in confronting social, environmental, and economic challenges. 2015. “Urban Resilience: Everyone’s Talking About It, but What Does It Mean?” Urban Sustainability Research Group (blog), March 25, 2013. In: Mondini, G., Oppio, A., Stanghellini, S., Bottero, M., Abastante, F.

Sharifi, A., Yamagata, Y.: Principles and criteria for assessing urban energy resilience: a literature review. Three studies relate to four core “pathways” along the program’s theory of change to strengthen urban resilience: increasing resilience in cities, expanding the marketplace of resilience services and partners, and cultivating a community of resilience professionals and champions. Urban Plan. J. R. Estate Lit. : System Dynamics: Modelling and Simulation. Resilience theory has received increased attention from researchers across a range of disciplines who have developed frameworks and articulated categories of indicators; however, there has been less discussion of how to recognize, and therefore support, social resilience at the community level, especially in urban areas. sustainability Article Comparing Conceptualizations of Urban Climate Resilience in Theory and Practice Sara Meerow 1,* and Melissa Stults 1,2,3 1 School of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA; missy.stults@gmail.com 2 Urban and Regional Planning, Unviersity of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA 3 The Climate Resilience Fund, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA : Modeling structural change in spatial system dynamics: a Daisyworld example. “Integrating Urban Resilience and Resource Efficiency into Local Green Growth Strategies: The Case of Fast-Growing Cities in Southeast Asia.” International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development 9 (2): 226-241. [7][8] However, despite this transformative popularity, resilience remains to be a vague and malleable term. Introduction – Resilience in Cities. LNCS, vol. [19]. Green Energy and Technology (2019, in press). However, in urban design, the concept of resilience is just starting to be investigated (Ahern 2013; Allan and Bryant 2011; Marcus and Colding 2014; Pickett, Cadenasso and McGrath 2013; Roggema 2014). Rev. Environ. Am. As we collectively address these issues, urban resilience has emerged as the normative framework in which we construct an understanding of cities. [3] United Nations.

(eds.) J. 2016. As the cities of the world increasingly come under threat from crisis and disaster, planners are searching for ways to build resilience into the foundations of modern urban centres.This important book provides a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of urban resilience in response to a range of disruptions, including terrorism, climate change and economic crises. [14] Lam, Vivian Y. Y., Christopher Doropoulos and Peter J. Mumby. Evid. Frequently referred to as a buzzword, the emergent focus on resilience has allowed it to become an increasingly normative framework to envision future urban development within – often in contemporary contexts, informing multi-dimensional facets of urban development. : Principles of Systems. Schulze, P. The below diagram illustrates the various unique definitions global organisations have adopted. The urban climate change literature draws heavily on ecological resilience theory originally developed by Holling. Transp. n.d. “Resilience.” Resilient City. Shepherd, S.P. With this project, 4TU RE wants to consistently include resilience thinking in the many different programmes and courses across the four universities of technology in the Netherlands. Environ. Urban resilience is a multi-dimensional and dynamic phenomenon and applied to urban planning it leads to cities being considered as complex socio-economic systems. In his conceptualization, resilience refers to an ecosystem’s ability to “persist” in the face of a disturbance or change, but this persistence does not necessarily mean that the system remains static.

OECD Publishing, Paris (2018). 2017. Abstract Dissatisfied with the large urban bias—the overreliance on large cities, spectacular space, and paradigmatic cases—and equally dissatisfied with our urban vocabularies and understandings of suburbanization and gentrification, I seek to explore how urban theory informs us about change in smaller cities and smaller suburban spaces. Constr. Bottero, M., Datola, G., Monaco, R.: The use of fuzzy cognitive maps for evaluating the reuse project of military barracks in Northern Italy. Cities were surprised by an external shock, and just like urban resilience theory warns, it diverted them from their development trajectories. [11] United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN- Habitat). Landsc. In addition to this, more recent literature has led researchers to summarise the differences in the various interpretations, outlining precision (resilience is not yet defined as a process or outcome and whether or not it is an umbrella term applying to individuals, communities, physical infrastructure or governance institutions) and context (range of scales from individuals to nations and distinguishing between resilience and adaptation) as systemic issues.

Day 5 – June 10 A Participants review the resilience measurement framework, and are introduced to more specific methods for resilience measurement, both following shocks and in absence of shocks. Electr. Resilience theory provides an opportunity to con-sider how to understand ecosystem services (and dis-services) in relationship to system vulnerabilities. [23]. 2016. Moreover, in the last few years, resilience theory has increasingly been discussed in urban theory (Davoudi et al. : Lessons from system dynamics modelling. Dubbed ‘the century of urbanisation,’ the rapid rate of urban development has seen an increasing number of megacities and urban dwellers. Contemporary urban resilience theory literature has gravitated towards defining urban resilience as: ‘the ability of an urban system and all its constituent socio-ecological and socio-technical networks across temporal and spatial scales to maintain or rapidly return to desired functions in the face of a disturbance, to adapt to change and to quickly transform systems that limit current or future adaptive capacity.’ [9]. [8] Chelleri, Lorenzo. Rev. Springer, Cham (2017). Identified in the UN Urban Resilience Trends Report, ‘urban resilience’ (as a conceptual framework) remains contested in its definition, however, this contestation acts as a catalyst for cross-disciplinary collaboration – a noted strength in urban resilience. [20] The below diagram illustrates the urban as a multi-dimensional system, not only focussing on ecological factors such as climate change, but social, economic and political variables which operate on a network of multi-scalar levels. Urban Geogr. The SDG’s offer an overall development framework in which resilience drives the approach for integrated development. Urban resilience building in this sense should be understood as the outcome of a process that includes a more proactive anticipation, experimentation, learning, and adaptation to changing circumstances and novel events.
