CITY RESILIENCE STRATEGIES
Towards a resilient city: strategies, asset and partnership
Tuesday 20th November
8.30 a.m. – 1.00 p.m.
Salone di Rappresentanza, Palazzo Tursi
Introduction
Resilience is the capability of a system, a community or a society, exposed to exogenous and endogenous risks, to resist, absorb, adapt and recuperate from a disastrous event in an efficient and rapid way. Today resilience is also synonym of appeal and competitiveness for a territory that evolves and transforms itself in conjunction with the great challenges of the sustainable future, offering a better quality life and a better economic and social pattern for any urban area.
The management of urban risk, to be efficient and effective, has to be based on multi-sectorial and multifactorial analysis, keeping in mind, even during the planning phase, the certain and possible interactions between disastrous events. The same approach has to be used during the intervention phase, in case prevention cannot avoid catastrophic events.
International, national, regional and interregional cooperation is crucial to support the effort of national and local authorities, communities and companies, to avoid any kind of risk.
