Making a City Resilient

A big concern is how coastal cities will be adapting infrastructures to respond to climate change. The answer is sustainable behavior and green infrastructure. It is about using strong building materials while also bringing bits of nature into neighborhoods. The implementation of greenery within a space brings many advantages to a design and there are many reasons why it is so important. 

 

To build a resilient city means to build a place that has the ability to withstand or recover from any difficulties. This happens by designing and prioritizing spaces that encourage safe movements and social interaction. It is crucial that a place is provided that is safe and can prevent or hold through major losses from natural disasters. 

 

But how do you make a city resilient? Strong infrastructure materials can withstand during extreme weather conditions and natural disasters. This will prevent any major damages or loss as well as save communities from having the rebuild. It is important to save buildings and avoid new unnecessary construction that will generate more heat and disrupt existing vegetation. Early warning systems for people are also crucial. Many places lack proper mapped signages. Taking these subjects more seriously will create an efficient and educated community. And lastly, with resilient infrastructures comes safe amenities and shelters. With more amenities that prioritize the safety and well-being of the people within the community, the city is just getting closer to a more inclusive culture and a successful city.
