Resilient Recovery Toolkit

The Challenge

The Resilient Cities Network worked with Chief Resilience Officers to co-design and identify the best methodologies to enable cities to plan a resilient recovery from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The toolkit for a resilient recovery is based on best practices from R-Cities member cities. Cities can use it independently, as well as in collaboration with R-Cities.

The toolkit enables each city to define its own path to recovery by considering four iterative activities: assessing and analyzing the situation; defining a portfolio of actions; improving the proposals; and deepening learning.

Characterized by a place-based approach, the toolkit helps local governments to identify opportunities that include not only physical solutions – such as rethinking street layouts to optimize pedestrian and cycling mobility – but also cultural practices, cross-cutting issues, and governance arrangements to achieve carbon neutrality in the long term.
