Mar 3, 2021 · Resiliency in infrastructure is the merging of knowledge and innovation to engineer and construct our roads and bridges to withstand the test of time, elements and mother nature. Resiliency requires thinking and acting differently to build infrastructure, not for us, but for future generations.
Infrastructure resilience is generally viewed as the phases of disruption management: to prevent, absorb, recover and transform from disruptions caused by a hazard, in a timely and efficient manner. We build on the United Nations definition of resilience [6] by recognising that delivering resilient infrastructure needs both the
Apr 28, 2021 · Specifically, investments in climate-safe energy, transportation, water and communications systems and technologies offer “win-win-win” opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase resilience to climate stresses and ensure access to energy, food, and clean air and water.
Feb 23, 2021 · Resilience theory can help infrastructure managers navigate increasing complexity. Engineering framings of resilience will need to evolve beyond robustness to consider adaptation and...

These principles set an understanding of what “resilient infrastructure” constitutes; form the basis for planning and implementation of infrastructure projects that take resilience as a core value; and assist the public and private sectors in making risk-informed policy and investment decisions.

Boosting resilience refers to (1) reducing the exposure of infrastructure assets to natural hazards; (2) reducing the vulnerability of assets; (3) designing infrastructure systems so they can deliver services, even when damaged; (4) ensuring infrastructure systems can avoid catastrophic failure; and (5) making users of infrastructure services ...
Abstract. With the pandemic as a backdrop, this note provides a selected, high-level picture of resilience in infrastructure. Dimensions of resilience are explored across the project life-cycle, from planning and designing, to construction, operations, and decommissioning.
