Arup, a member of the Scottish Green Infrastructure Forum is supporting 12 cities as Strategy Partner in the part of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC). They have produced "Our Resilient Glasgow", a document which introduces the City of Glasgow’s resilience strategy for 2016-2020. It is the first fully integrated response to resilience in Scotland and the first resilience strategy to be developed in the United Kingdom as part of 100 Resilient Cities – pioneered by the Rockefeller (100RC).
Key features
Our Resilient Glasgow provides an action plan that will be delivered through existing organisations, structural connections and delivery mechanisms. It highlights resilience as an explicit and intended consequence of strategies, initiatives and actions. The strategy commits the city and its stakeholders to action around four themes.
- Empowering Glaswegians
- Unlocking place based solutions
- Supporting the economy
- Fostering civic participation
The city’s delivery of their resilience strategy will be monitored using an evaluation framework that will enable city partners to understand how their own contribution can help to secure the city’s long term resilience.
