City Resilience Dynamics

a training tool that helps cities explore different strategies regarding the implementation of resilience policies, simulate the results of each strategy and learn about the resilience building process that the cities need to follow to improve their resilience level in the most efficient way

Resilience in Delta Cities

Resilience in the context of urbanizing delta cities refers to urban planning and design, which should integrate and balance diverse values of water. It is essential to develop resilience thinking with the understanding of history and the local context. This lecture demonstrates how a resilient urban system worked in ancient China and its transitions with an empirical study. Future planning strategies should not only integrate different values of water for a robust economy, a vital society, and a livable environment, but also deal with the changing contexts and great uncertainties. DURATION: 1 short video (~7 min long)

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.

City Case Studies: Student Trend Reports from Integrated Project Course

The resilience of an STE system can be affected by shocks and stresses. The severity of these shocks and stresses or how the system is affected may change due to climate change, socio-economic development and/or technological developments. TUDelft Environmental Engineering students were asked to study a specific shock or stress for a specific topic and analyze solution strategies to reduce the impact of the shock or stress in a “Trend Report”. In addition they added understanding and discussion questions to the trend reports. This makes these trend report an open education resource that can be used as a teaching material for 30-60 minutes to gain insight in typical shocks and stresses that affect resilience. This resource includes: Teaching guide and Lecture materials. Set of more than 30 city trend reports students.

Droughts in Santiago

In this trend report the impact of drought in Santiago will be investigated. Information will be provided on the current and future situation and solutions. Firstly, the concept of drought will be explained, in order to properly understand the stress. Subsequently, the impact droughts have on cities in general are investigated. In this section, special attention will be paid to the parts of the urban network and critical infrastructure that could be affected. Afterwards, a more specific look will be taken at the impact that droughts have in the city of Santiago. Thereafter, attention will also be paid to the ethical consequences of the stress. Finally, the predicted development of drought due to the changing climate will be described.

Energy exploition in Cape Town

The report delves into the potential effects of Energy Exploitation as a stress and its corresponding shocks on the resilience of Cape Town, a coastal city in South Africa. In this study, the City is divided into 4 subsystems which would serve as indicators for resilience i.e. the health of the City. For each subsystem, shocks are defined as a result of energy exploitation. The resilience of the city was studied via a concept map which shows how the shock correlates which each subsystem and whether it has a positive or negative correlation. Potential solution strategies were also investigated based on the availability and ethical implications on the societal subsystem. The outline of the report is a general investigation of the existing resilience and how the resilience would deteriorate with the current Paradigm in place.

Recontructing a road network after disasters

In this activity, the lecturer will provide a handout and additional details and students will work in group and develop strategies and road recovery sequence for the presented problem. This is a practical network modelling exercise that will help them to conceptualize larger-scale case studies using network science. The main advantage of this learning activity is that each student will not only be able to apply the mathematical and theoretical knowledge that they have learned throughout the class, but also will be able to relate them to societal problems. Working-in-pair will let them brainstorm and develop working in team skills. The main disadvantage of this activity is that again it might take quite a long time unexpectedly. In addition, it is an exercise that does not have a single “correct” answer but a range of possible strategies to sequence the road segments. The resources include a detailed research paper on this subject. The research paper can be found here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212420918306393?via%3Dihub .
