8 City Resilience holistic

9 Rockefeller City Resilience Index

10 Rockefeller City Resilience Index to articulate urban resilience in an accessible, evidence-based and measurable way that can inform urban planning, practice, and investment patterns Opportunity Statement, City Resilience Index February 2013

11 Rockefeller City Resilience Index Knowledge effective leadership, empowered stakeholders, and integrated planning People the health and wellbeing of everyone living and working in the city Place the way in which man-made and natural infrastructure provides critical services and protects, and connects urban citizens Organisation the social and financial systems that enable urban populations to live peacefully, and act collectively

12 Rockefeller City Resilience Index How is this demonstrated? Active management & restoration of coastal ecosystems Active management & restoration of tree cover Active management of rivers & watersheds Qualities of resilience Reflective, flexible and resourceful management and restoration of ecosystems and environmental assets

19 Water-Wise Cities 17 Principles for Water-Wise Cities 4 Levels of Action Regenerative Water Services Water Sensitive Urban Design Basin Connected Cities Water Wise Communities 5 Building Blocks Vision Governance Knowledge & Capacity Planning Tools Implementation Tools

20 Water-Wise Cities 1. Regenerative Water Services Replenish Waterbodies and their Ecosystems Reduce the Amount of Water and Energy Used Reuse and Use Diverse Sources of Water Apply a Systems Approach for Integration with Other Services Increase the Modularity of Systems for Multiple Options

21 Water-Wise Cities 2. Water Sensitive Urban Design Enable Regenerative Water Services Design Urban Space to Reduces Flood Risk Enhance Livability with Visible Water Modify and Adapt Urban Materials to Minimise Environmental Impact

22 Water-Wise Cities 3. Basin Connected Cities Secure Water Resources and Plan for Drought Mitigation Protect the Quality of Water Resources Plan for Extreme Events

23 Water-Wise Cities 4. Water Wise Communities Empowered Citizens Incentivized Professionals Transdisciplinary Planning teams Progressive Policy Makers Leaders that Engage and Engender Trust

24 Water-Wise Cities 5. Building Blocks
