Drawing on evidence from urban resilience initiatives around the
globe, the authors make a compelling argument for a "resilience
reset", a pause and stocktake that critically examines the
concepts, practices and challenges of building resilience,
particularly in cities of the Global South. In turn, the book calls
for the world's cities to alter their course and "pivot" towards
novel approaches to enhancing resilience. The book presents shifts
in ways of acquiring and analysing data, building community
resilience, approaching urban planning, engaging with informality,
delivering financing, and building the skills of those running
cities in a post-COVID world grappling with climate impacts. In
Resilience Reset, the authors encourage researchers, policymakers,
and practitioners to break out of existing modes of thinking and
doing that may no longer be relevant for our rapidly urbanising and
dynamic world. The book draws on the latest academic and
practice-based evidence to provide actionable insights for cities
that will enable them to deal with multiple interacting shocks and
stresses. The book will be an indispensable resource to those
studying urbanisation, development, climate change and risk
management as well as for those designing and deploying operational
initiatives to enhance urban resilience in businesses,
international organisations, civil society organisations and
governments. It is a must-read for anyone interested in managing
the risks of climate impacts in urban centres in the Global South.
