A practitioner’s view: Santiago, Chile

Cristián Robertson, the Deputy Resilience Officer of Resilient Santiago, talks about the Resilience Santiago Project. Santiago, the capital of Chile, is well known for being an extremely resilient city against earthquakes. Within the project, resilience is understood in a more comprehensive way that goes beyond the absorption of natural disasters. Resilience is also viewed here through a social and economic lens. This 9-minute interview is a good opportunity to see how this broad resilience understanding is being implemented in a real case.
