Resilience in the Built Environment

Resilience in the built environment refers to the ability of buildings, infrastructure, and communities to withstand, adapt to, and recover from various challenges such as natural disasters, climate change, or accidents. It involves designing and maintaining structures that can absorb shocks, continue functioning during disruptions, and quickly bounce back afterward. This approach helps minimize damage, protect lives, and ensure essential services remain available, ultimately creating safer and more reliable spaces for people to live, work, and operate within, even in the face of adversity.
