Arup’s Post

It feels like we are seeing the impacts of climate change in our #cities almost daily, with increasingly frequent experiences of overheating, flooding, and storms. The result is disruption and loss of productivity and, too often, loss of life, livelihoods, and property. But climate change is not the only pressure cities face, and strengthening urban resilience needs to be combined with decarbonisation, nature-positive regeneration, and reducing poverty.   Working collaboratively is the foundation for building true resilience, and Arup welcomes and supports the COP29 Declaration on Multisectoral Action Pathways (MAP) for Resilient and Healthy Cities being launched on @COP29 Azerbaijan Cities Day.   Having guided cities to holistically plan and deliver urban resilience for over a decade we recently launched an updated City Resilience Framework ’24. This has simplified the original approach to help cities:   - ensure action can be joined up across city departments and different urban scales to optimise shared benefits; - enable effective engagement with stakeholders and include all voices; - embed resilience into masterplans and regeneration schemes and create sustainable communities; - evaluate investment opportunities and show the financial benefits of improving resilience to investors.   Download the updated CRF’24 and see how the framework can be applied to your city, town or neighbourhood. https://lnkd.in/ezciFNvx   For more on the ‘why’ of urban resilience, you can also explore City Competitiveness Redefined which explains how urban resilience underpins future city competitiveness and unpicks the potential of 63 global cities: https://lnkd.in/g4idRDnF   #CRF24 #CityResilienceFramework #COP29 #climateactioneveryday #CompetitiveCitiesRedefined
