The decade ahead belongs to cities.

☎️ We meet in London at a moment when shocks are intensifying and shaping daily life. Cities are leading with focus and capability, yet the pressures they face continue to grow. Heat is intensifying, infrastructure is ageing, costs are rising and inequalities are widening. Health systems are stretched and many cities face demands that exceed their resources.

A decade of city-resilience action has built the foundations for what the world needs today: resilience at scale. Together with The Conduit, we are bringing forward the Practitioners Call to Scale Urban Resilience.

Scaling resilience now depends on our collective action. More than a hundred contributions and over a hundred resilience practitioners have joined the call.
