Systems Thinking for Urban Resilience: An Integrated Approach to Natural Hazards
Journal: Urban Resilience and Earthquake Engineering
Background and Rationale Urban areas are defined by physical landscapes that are simultaneously structural (the built environment) and functional (the dynamic flows of people, resources, goods, and services). The resilience of these landscapes to shocks and stressors is a multidimensional attribute that emerges from complex patterns and interactions among buildings, critical infrastructure systems (e.g., transport,…
