In Resilient Cities, Second Edition, Peter Newman, Timothy Beatley, and Heather Boyer explore what it means to be resilient in an age of changing climate and growing inequity. Since
the first edition was published in 2009, interest in resilience has surged, in part due to increasingly frequent and deadly natural disasters, and in part due to the contribution of our
cities to climate change. The new initiatives and approaches from citizens and all levels of government show the promise as well as the challenges of creating cities that are truly
resilient.
Resilient Cities, Second Edition reveals how cities around the world are working to become more resilient. The authors offer stories, insights, and inspiration for urban
planners, policymakers, and professionals interested in creating more sustainable, equitable, and, eventually, regenerative cities. Most importantly, the book is about overcoming fear and
generating hope in our cities. The challenge of resilient cities is to claim a different future that helps us regenerate the whole planet.
