Urban Resilience Design Strategies
As engineers, how can we better design for resilience? This research sets out to compile a comprehensive set of urban resilience design strategies, where “resilience” is defined as the “capability of dealing with future shocks and stresses and continuing to function.” Resilience concepts collected from two literature reviews are integrated to produce a set of 60 resilience design strategies, organized into a three-part design aid based on whether they improve core, specified, or general resilience. The design aid can be used to assess the existing resilience of an urban area, find ways to improve its resilience, or to analyse a past catastrophe. To trial its use, the design aid was applied to a proposed neighbourhood in London, Ontario, which led to a refinement in the aid and generated many ideas on how to improve the neighbourhood’s resilience. The aid offers a straightforward and holistic tool for designing for resilience.
