Resilience and Sustainability in Relation to Natural Disasters: A Challenge for Future Cities

Paolo Gasparini - Personal Name; Gaetano Manfredi - Personal Name; Domenico Asprone - Personal Name;

Economic resilience is a prerequisite for sustainability. If cities cannot
cope with short-run natural and man-made disasters, they will not thrive in the
long run. This presentation will explain the role of economic resilience in the
survival of cities and how experience with disasters can be transformed into
actions that promote sustainability. I begin with a discussion of features of cities
that make them both vulnerable and resilient. I then define economic resilience and
offer an operational metric. Next I discuss individual tactics to implement it at the
micro, meso, and macroeconomic levels. Then I summarize studies of the relative
effectiveness of resilience tactics and their costs. I conclude with a discussion of
broader strategies to make cities more resilient in the short-run and emphasize the
importance of translating them into adaptations for the long-run. A key strategy is
to translate ingenuity in coping with disasters into decisions and practices that
continuously promote sustainability.
