Resilient cities and climate change by Trevor Scott https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig en-us 2022-02-25 10:20:52 UTC 2022-03-29 04:16:25 UTC hello@padlet.com What is a resilient city? tgscott16 https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2080520520 A city that is perfectly resilient is suited to its environment completely and can withstand any form of shocks or stresses that may occur. The shocks and stresses that are becoming increasingly important in the field of urban resilience are that which are born from climate change. ]]> 2022-03-07 01:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2080520520 tgscott16 https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081185955 Urban Resilience | Canvas @ Yale]]> 2022-03-07 08:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081185955 Climate change based threats tgscott16 https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081230251 As climate change progresses, natural phenomenon that can negatively effect urban communities have and will continue to become more and more common. This is where the need for resilient cities come from. These climate based threats are guaranteed to increase quantity and force, meaning that cities will need to develop a certain amount of resilience based on their unique environment's climate threats. ]]> 2022-03-07 08:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081230251 What does resilience look like? tgscott16 https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081237569 Resilience can come in many different forms, from simple measures put in place to limit car use lowering green house gas emissions, to reinforced buildings that withstand earthquakes, or underground open spaces that remove and store large amounts of flood water from streets in the case of flood level rain events. ]]> 2022-03-07 09:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081237569 tgscott16 https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081289350 Urban Resilience Education - New International Master Degree | Urban Resilience Research Network]]> 2022-03-07 09:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081289350 tgscott16 https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081309617 Photo of Japan's "Kasukabe reservoir" which greatly improves its city's resilience against rainfall and typhoon flood water.

For example, a city like Prince George has had to develop resilience in the form of snow removal in the winter months. This is a very minor example however, and the intensity of climate threats will only increase with time. Japan's Kasukabe reservoir is a great example of the large scale resilience projects that will become more and more common. ]]> 2022-03-07 10:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081347096 tgscott16 https://padlet.com/tgscott16/lmhuizsybkxba5ig/wish/2081359112 18 Major Flood Events Have Hit Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas Since March 2015 | The Weather Channel - Articles from The Weather Channel | weather.com
