Big ups to Christchurch for being selected as one of the first 33 cities to join the 100 Resilient Cities network! The cities inaugural 33 were selected from nearly 400 applicants across six continents! Through 100 Resilient Cities, each city will receive: - Support from other member cities, share new knowledge and resilience best practices and foster new connections and partnerships. - Support to hire or fund a Chief Resilience Officer (CRO) to help ensure resilience building and coordination is the specific responsibility of one person in a city government. The CROs will also oversee the development of a resilience plan for the city and be part of a learning network of other CROs as representatives to the 100 Resilient Cities Network. - Support to create a resilience plan that reflects each citys distinct needs. - An innovative platform to provide tools and resources for implementation of the plan focused on four areas: innovative finance, innovative technology, infrastructure and land use, and community and social resilience from partners such as Swiss Re, Palantir, the American Institute of Architects, Architecture for Humanity, and the World Bank. WOW!!!
