Resilience planning is quickly becoming a crucial part of short-term and long-range planning as climate change and population growth strain urban infrastructure and natural resources. Planning for resilient cities means centering hazard mitigation and integrated solutions that will protect urban systems from natural and human-created shocks. Resilience strategies include a range of actions to secure future energy supplies, prevent flooding in coastal zones, develop efficient transportation networks, and more.
