Abstract: |
This chapter focuses on selected cities with advanced resilience practices. The key criteria for the selection of these cities are their geographical distribution and the development of different urban planning policies to achieve urban resilience. Quito is chosen, as a city affected by many different natural disasters, Singapore, as a city based on the principles of compact development, Toronto, as a city vulnerable to climate change and with a tradition of immigrants’ integration, Rotterdam, as the most resilient city in Europe, and finally Lagos as an African city with rapid urbanization and economic development and strong vulnerability to natural phenomena. For each city, parameters such as urban density, inclusiveness, sustainable urban mobility, public space, response to natural disasters, promotion of social resilience, and new technologies are examined.
