Cities put people first

When communities thrive, cities can adapt faster and recover better. That is why a city is only as resilient as its communities. R-Cities are strengthening neighbourhoods, supporting communities and reducing pressures that make people more at risk in moments of crisis.

Resilience for communities

Cities protect daily life

Resilience succeeds when it strengthens people’s safety, health and wellbeing. Cities are reducing heat impacts, improving air quality, strengthening emergency response and creating conditions for healthier lives. By investing in places and services that support people every day, cities are building stronger foundations for the future.

Prepare for uncertainty

Cities move faster together

Cities are navigating overlapping climate, social and economic pressures. Through R-Cities, they understand risk better, collaborate across departments and partners, and turn learning from other cities into decisions that strengthen and scale resilience.

Equitable Cities

A city is as resilient as its communities

This is why at the heart of our mission lies an unwavering commitment to help cities address and rectify the inequities that perpetuate risk and vulnerabilities.

Cities put equity first

Climate Resilient Cities

Resilient cities are navigating the polycrisis era

Withstanding, preparing and adapting to face multiple crises at once requires us to better understand risk and collaborate. As a network built and led by cities, we are building capacity together, breaking down silos, and becoming more agile to adapt quickly to sudden changes.

Prepare for uncertainty

Circular Cities

Becoming cleaner, healthier and just

Cities are creating jobs, reducing emissions, and protecting biodiversity by transitioning into a circular economy. The shift from extractive to regenerative models reduces waste and inequalities and improves our well-being.
