Mike Cowdy and Nora Balboni from McGregor Coxall are working with Project Groundwater to create a framework for resilience in order to achieve the goal of making communities more resilient to groundwater flooding. In this episode they join host Katie to discuss how their work is progressing.

Among the many fascinating talking points are the philosophy of "bio-urbanism" and how a holistic non-silo approach to resilience is more likely to move us toward a reliable and useful framework.

Discover what the pillars (or "capitals") of resilience are, as proposed by Mike and Nora, from their research.

What potential do frameworks have to be transposed across communities and contexts? What about more practical challenges like who owns and maintains a framework? How does it fit into funding applications and current infrastructure, processes and community groups?

This episode grapples with some big issues but makes real progress toward defined  and useful insights into resilience that go beyond throwaway uses of the word or vague statements that we simply need to be "more resilient".
