In 2013 Island Press launched the Urban Resilience Project (URP) with support from The Kresge Foundation and The JPB Foundation. The project is working to imagine and inspire the sustainable, equitable, resilient cities of the future. It brings together thought leaders with a broad range of expertise to generate and cross-pollinate ideas. These ideas are shared in a variety of media—books, articles, podcasts interviews, webinars, and educational coursework.

Laurie Mazur is the Island Press Managing Editor for the project.
