The City Resilience Index (CRI), developed by Arup with the support from the Rockefeller Foundation provides a comprehensive, technically robust and globally applicable basis for measuring city resilience.
This first-of-its-kind tool allows cities, policy-makers, urban planners and stakeholders to better understand their capacity to address the social, physical and economic challenges they face and better prepare themselves for the future. This involves looking at individuals, communities, institutions, businesses and systems, and how they are able to survive and adapt no matter what kinds of chronic or acute stress they experience.
The tool comprises 52 resilience indicators that gives cities the opportunity to assess their preparedness and ability to accommodate current and emerging challenges through a secure online interface.
Designed primarily as a self-assessment, this tool will generate a resilience profile that will reveal a city’s specific strengths and weaknesses.
