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.

Getting There
Getting There was produced by planners in New Hampshire to inform other planners of the concepts and benefits of universal design.

City Dreamers
The film "City Dreamers," directed by Joseph Hillel and released in 2018, tells the story of four women designers who worked to shape North American cities throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century.
