In this context, we obtain a urban society:
• more and more menaced by a lot of natural hazards
• more and more vulnerable due to increasing issues and complex urban system relations;
• less and less resilient.
This session aims at discussing how researchers, practitioners and professionals are integrating the resilient concept to set up new risk management approaches and to design more resilient and flexible cities to face all types of natural hazards. Indeed, a lot of projects in the EU are now trying to use the concept of resilience to mitigate different types of risks in urban areas. This session represents a great opportunity to exchange on resilient cities and to build up a resilience framework. We are attending presentations combining different disciplines, bringing conceptual elements on resilience but also tangible applications. All methods, frameworks, tools (GIS) designed to reduce risks in cities and integrating the resilience concept are welcome in this session.
After this session, a special issue of NHESS journal will be produced gathering 2010 and 2011 resilient city session papers.
