All cities aspire to be great cities. This pocket guide aims to demon-strate why resilience is for everyone and for every city. While there is often an emphasis on planning for resilience in the world’s most rapidly urbanizing areas, many of the case studies featured here ex-press the need for, and value of, resilience building in those regions where urban population growth has peaked. Shifting demographics, geo-political conditions, and climate change, among other factors, are challenges for all cities, as well as their citizens who rely upon the goods and services cities provide.
