περιγραφή: | 100 Resilient Cities - Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation was created to partially address two key problems: 1) cities are complex ecosystems, resistant to change and made up of a myriad group of systems and actors; and 2) existing solutions aren't scaling or are not being shared more broadly. In other words, cities constantly find themselves reinventing the wheel. Our platform of partners, one of the four key offerings we provide our cities, is designed to help address the second problem. Through our Platform Partners, 100 Resilient Cities provides member cities with access to a curated suite of resilience-building tools and services supplied by a carefully selected platform of partners from the private, public, academic, and non-profit sectors. The Platform and our Platform Partners are a way to leverage resources beyond the $100+ million commitment that the Rockefeller Foundation initially made when it pioneered 100 Resilient Cities as part of its centennial commitment to urban resilience. The catalogue includes tools and services that cities might not otherwise be able to access for a number of reasons, such as affordability, not knowing that the tool existed, or not understanding that it could be applied to address their unique city needs. The tools and services we have on our platform can help educate our cities and can facilitate the planning and implementation of their strategy process. For example, we have tools that aggregate, evaluate and integrate big data into decision making; encourage stakeholder engagement; assess risk exposure to hazards; monitor and protect water resources; design resilient urban infrastructure and environments; identify opportunities for operational efficiency and provide education around the concept of resilience. Some of the most exciting takeaways from the event include:
