100 Resilient Cities - Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation
(100RC) is dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient
to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the
21st century.
100RC
supports the adoption and incorporation of a view of resilience that includes
not just the shocks—earthquakes, fires, floods, etc.—but also the stresses that
weaken the fabric of a city on a day to day or cyclical basis. Cities in
the 100RC network are provided with the resources necessary to develop a
roadmap to resilience along four main pathways:
- Financial and logistical guidance for establishing an innovative new position in city government, a Chief Resilience Officer, who will lead the city’s resilience efforts;
- Expert support for development of a robust resilience strategy;
- Access to solutions, service providers, and partners from the private, public and NGO sectors who can help them develop and implement their resilience strategies; and
- Membership of a global network of member cities who can learn from and help each other.
