As cities around the world face climate change, natural disasters, and other stresses both acute and chronic, how can they plan, build, and re-build in ways foster comprehensive, long-term resilience? Dr. Judith Rodin works toward answers to that question in her role as president of the Rockefeller Foundation, and addressed it also in her recent book The Resilience Dividend. She visited SPUR on May 7, 2015, to discuss building resilient cities with Gabriel Metcalf, SPUR’s President and CEO.
