ncreasing draught and arid lands, recurring intense storms, rising sea levels, failing infrastructure and architecture – communities are experiencing the effects of new and frequent perils that we must confront, mitigate, manage, predict and prevent. How can we reimagine cities – a fundamental structure to human life - to resist these realities? What solutions are we finding? How are cities restructuring, innovating with technology, and developing policy to minimize damage and risk? What makes for resilient communities and systems? What new innovations might we consider? This course, taught in seminar style, addresses these and other questions about resiliency through investigation, reading and discussion.
