Leadership & Strategy

Learning from past experiences and applying knowledge to effectively respond to current and future circumstances is a hallmark of resilient leadership and strategy. Evidence‐based decision making combined with inclusive urban management that involves governing bodies, business and civil groups can empower stakeholders to ensure their city develops in ways that align with the core vision for their city’s future.

Effective Direction

Transparent leadership builds trust, community cohesion, and supports the shared vision of a city’s course. Effective direction in times of stress is key for encouraging communities to pull together.

Energised Participants

Urban stakeholders, individuals and small communities are often better positioned to act, learn, and adapt in the face of shock and stresses. This makes them invaluable assets to the cities they belong to.

Cohesive Planning

Development plans, regulations and policies designed to guide and control urban development can be used to ensure projects and programs are aligned with a formalised framework supporting a city’s resilience.
