Resilience thinking when planning in the South

What kind of urban challenges may the future bring? How can we prepare for future urban problems without even knowing how they will look like? What does it mean to plan for resilience in the global south? In this 7-minute video, Igor Pessoa discusses his research project with support of the CAPES Foundation to identify applicable mechanisms to increase resilience in Brazilian metropolises.

Introduction to Urban Resilience

Dominic Stead introduces the concept of urban resilience and what is means for city planning and management. What does it imply for the way in which cities across the world are planned and managed? Stead reviews the challenges of operationalizing the concept as there many interpretations of the term. Yet, urban resilience can still be incorporated into the urban planning of cities to not only mitigate the causes of climate change but also develop adaptation measures that reduce the vulnerability of cities. DURATION: 1 short video (~11 minutes long)

Transport Resilience

This 90-minute lecture reflects on long-term transport infrastructure and innovation investments from a resilience perspective. Three adaptation approaches are compared in terms of their strengths and pitfalls. Mobility as a Service is assessed in terms of its resilience characteristics but also the vulnerabilities due to greater dependency on the security and reliability of digital and energy platforms. Assignment included- Leylilijn rail line case

Japanese Cities: Critical infrastructure design for extreme resilience

HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS CASE STUDY: First, please refer to the Teacher's Guide using the yellow "View Materials" button on the left pane. The teacher's guide outlines the purpose, contents, approach, case structure, and technical information of this case study. This case study was curated from other independently published open educational resources and from existing materials on this platform. These resources are also organized by domain. At the bottom of each resource's page, you can see both the city case study and SURF Resilience domain to which it belongs. Click on the case study or the domain name to navigate to the case study homepage or SURF Resilience collection, respectively. OVERVIEW: This set contains a teaching guide, seven thematic foci, and gaming simulations. In this set, you will discover the challenges and opportunities provided by the concept of urban resilience on mitigating and preventing flooding. Examples of design considerations of hydraulic structures and spillways will show you how resilience can be integrated into urban planning and management. Then, you will dive into the topic of large waves, typhoons, storm surges, and tsunamis. You will see how one natural disaster can pose potential downstream risks for society, as exhibited by the 2011 tsunami and the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant failure. Moreover, you will see how tsunamis impact multiple urban subsystems such as transportation, buildings, sanitation, and environment. You will have the opportunity to think about solution strategies and their ethical considerations. Then, you will look into the process of post-disaster reconstruction after a disaster has uprooted existing systems. Lastly, you will see how man-made climate change has created alternative urban climates. You will also look into how to design for a better, more comfortable urban microclimate. End by playing related resilience games.

Rethink the City: New Approaches to Global and Local Urban Challenges

Learn about today's urban challenges focusing on developing countries, referred to as the Global South. We will debate the benefits associated with three different themes, going beyond traditional urban strategies and policies: Spatial justice - Having fair, inclusive and healthy urban contexts is one of the greatest challenges of cities in emerging economies. Housing Provision and Management - Increasing demand in the Global South calls for alternative approaches in housing provision and management. Sustainable Urban Transitions - In order to transition from our current (unsustainable) system towards a fair and sustainable future we need to pay attention to the social, economic, and cultural context. In the course, we will address questions such as: Is the 'just city' framework applicable to cities with extreme socio-economic inequality? Can community-led housing initiatives provide effective solutions for households in need? How can the transition towards an environmentally sustainable future also be socially just? In this architecture and urban planning course, academic urban planning expertise from TU Delft is used to formulate possible answers to these questions, and is applied in a range of challenging case studies from Latin America, MENA region, Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia, , among others. This course offers you a new perspective to understand and analyse the urban challenges of the Global South. Through a combination of short theoretical lessons, presentation of case studies, testimonies from practitioners and practical assignments you will also learn how to develop a critical perspective about your own urban environment and how to translate this knowledge into analytical tools and innovative urban solutions.

RElastiCity: An urban resilience game

Games are safe environments where players can experiment freely with complex and uncertain decisions. RElastiCity is a game about urban resilience. In the game, the players are responsible for the resilience of a city, they have to protect the city against stresses and adapt the city to become more resilient. In this way, the players experience the choices that have to be made and the consequences of the choices. In this version of the game, a fictional city is simulated, a city that is similar to an average Western-European (Dutch) city. It is also possible to customize the game to any other city in the world. In the files you can find a facilitator manual for the teachers about how to use the game and how to prepare. Second you find the rulebook, which explains the rules in detail and can be given to the players (in principle they can play without a facilitator). And you find the materials for the game (General materials A3Format, general materials A4format, Materials set built environment, energy, urban water and transport). For the background of the content of the game, you can use the systems analysis report). Besides the basic game that can be printed, you can also develop your own content. In the facilitator manual you can find some ideas and you can use the blank_materials set to develop new cards. Learning Objectives After playing the game, the participants: Understand different perspectives of resilience and how they influence key performance indicators and decision making Experience the impact of disasters on the environment of the system Experience the consequences of different measures on disasters Experience the consequences of different measures on other systems (counter intuitive effects): a. effect of measure during implementation and under normal conditions, b. effect of measure to protect one disaster on effects when another disaster happens Experience how to organize disaster prevention and mitigation. The game is primarily developed as an introduction for engineering students (in higher education) to the topic of resilience. This can be part of a course about resilience or related to a resilience topic within a course. As the focus is engineering, the content of the game is more focused on the engineering challenges and less on the societal issues. In a broader perspective, the game can also be used for professional training, in resilience research projects or in any other interested group of players. The content of the game can be adapted to make a closer fit with the city or area of interest. More information about the use and adaptation of the game can be found in the facilitator manual. Credits: this game was developed by the TU Delft gamelab (website: https://seriousgaming.tudelft.nl/).
