Wednesday, 30 April, 13:00-14:30 BST, London
Resilience First, in collaboration with the Centre for Whole of Society Resilience, is holding a members’ lunch briefing featuring a panel discussion on a ‘Whole-of-Society Approach to Urban Resilience’. This will take place on Wednesday, 30 April, from 13:00 to 14:30 in central London, hosted by PA Consulting.
As UK cities face increasing pressures from climate change, technological disruptions, security risks and global supply chain vulnerabilities, urban resilience has become a crucial priority for policymakers, businesses, and communities alike.
The event will explore how the recently published standard ISO 22371 on urban resilience can be a strategic tool to assess and mitigate emerging risks, empowering you to better adapt to and navigate future challenges. Caroline Field, who led the creation of the standard, will lead a discussion on this area.
Other discussion points will include:
- Business perspectives on how demographic shifts and future user needs are being incorporated into resilience strategies.
- Examples of building resilient infrastructure, services, and communities.
- The essential role of cross-sector collaboration in creating a more resilient urban future.
- How resilience can protect assets and support long-term economic success.
