European cities joining forces to improve city resilience

Programme 2014 - 2020 URBACT III

Date of latest update: 2025-01-21

Description

Description (EN):

Cities are where the majority of the population lives, where innovation takes place and where the bulk of economic value is created. The future is hopeful and economists applaud the agglomerative effects of the city: proximity, diversity and density are considered keys to economic success.However, these are the same qualities that make cities vulnerable to the impacts of shocks and chronic stresses. In cities where stresses accumulate or sudden shocks occur, the result can be social breakdown, physical collapse or economic deprivation. In this reality, cities are not the solution but epicentres of the problem.In order for cities to live up to expectations, cities need to be able to continue to function no matter what stresses or shocks the people living and working in cities encounter. In other words: cities need to be resilient. The policy challenge facing our cities therefore is to increase our city’s resilience in order for its inhabitants to survive and thrive and for the city to successfully deliver on its potential for progress and in this way to contribute to transforming Europe into a smart, sustainable and inclusive society.We argue that it is the task of every city to lead the way in preparing their city to reorganize, adapt and regenerate urban structures and processes in the light of this resilience challenge without compromising the welfare and well-being of the citizens and the quality of social, ecological and economic services provided to them.

Achievements (EN):

Improving city resilience: Becoming more resilient means that a city strives to enhance its ability to bounce back and grow even stronger and better in the face of the chronic stresses and acute shocks. As such, city resilience is a continuous challenge for individuals, communities, institutions, businesses and infrastructure systems to address current trends and future transitions. This Action Planning network looked at the challenges of achieving resilience in and of our cities in a comprehensive and holistic way, by applying the lessons from the innovative governance approach of Transition Management. This approach is a process-oriented and participatory steering that enables social learning through iterations between collective vision development and experimenting.
