URBAN resilience is no longer just an idea or a catchphrase. As the concept and practice have evolved, urban resilience now refers not just to the ability of cities to return to equilibrium after hazard-induced calamities, but also to adapt to and transform in the wake of multiple stressors that cities face, including climate change. Several intervention efforts now focus explicitly on building urban resilience. 100 Resilient Cities, a network of one hundred cities around the world established and supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, is one such initiative of which Bengaluru is a part, along with four other cities in India.
