EXPLORING RESILIENCY

AND SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN


The Urban Land Institute (ULI), a global organization of more than 40,000 real estate and urban development professionals, summarizes its resilience work since Hurricane Sandy in its 2108 Ten Principles for Building Resilience publication.

Highlights include:

  • Accurately Price the Cost of Inaction: Recent extreme weather events suggest that the costs of not investing in resilience and risk reduction are dramatically increasing.
  • Design with Natural Systems: Designing resilience relies upon an understanding of the function and geography of natural systems and how they can help strengthen manmade systems and communities.
  • Redefine How and Where to Build: Building resilience entails identifying and investing in places and infrastructure that are the most likely to endure.
