Resilient cities: Bridging the humanitarian/development divide

The City We Need can survive, adapt, and grow no matter what type of crises, be they chronic stresses or acute shocks, it experiences. The City We Need is resilient.

On February 11, World Vision International and the International Rescue Committee, representing different sides of the humanitarian-development divide, co-organised the first Urban Thinkers Campus focused on urban resilience. The event was hosted by ALNAP’s Urban Response Community of Practice. Held virtually, the Campus explored the role of resiliency in bridging the humanitarian/development divide in order to achieve durable, sustainable, and multi-dimensional outcomes appropriated to the local context following urban crises.
