Research Summary

Urban resilience is a concept which can be used to examine the readiness for urban centres to withstand, adapt to, absorb, respond to, and recovery from acute or chronic stresses. To help cities improve their resilience, several multidisciplinary frameworks have been developed in academe and the non-profit sector. This research will explore how urban resilience is being implemented within Canadian cities.
