🗂️ Urban Resilience Data Platforms

• In Guadalajara’s Metropolitan Area, the Metropolitan Zoom platform enables leaders to visualise climate hazards, social vulnerabilities and infrastructure conditions across the region. This shared evidence base supports metropolitan governance and helps align priorities across municipalities.
• Mexico City’s Risk Atlas provides detailed, spatialised information on urban hazards and exposure. Agencies use it to prioritise risk reduction actions and guide resilience investments in areas facing the highest risks.
• Cape Town integrates social, economic, health, water-use and safety data through dashboards that track resilience-related indicators. These tools bring risk, systems and service-delivery data together, improving situational awareness and cross-government coordination.
• In Sydney, the Resilient Sydney Platform visualises environmental footprints at the metropolitan scale, enabling councils to integrate climate and resilience considerations directly into planning and policy decisions.

Together, these platforms show how integrated data systems improve decision-making, strengthen collaboration and enable cities to plan and act with greater clarity as risks evolve.

Resilience depends on accurate, shared information about risks and how they interact across systems. Data platforms help cities identify hotspots, track trends and allocate resources where they are needed most. They also improve transparency and support collaboration by giving teams a common reference point for planning, investment and emergency response.
