Christchurch is a member city of this network.
Resilient cities demonstrate seven qualities that allow them to withstand, respond to, and adapt more readily to shocks and stresses.
Inclusive, Flexible, willingness and ability to adopt alternative strategies in response to changing circumstances
prioritize broad consultation to create a sense of shared ownership in decision making
In essence, resilience doesn’t involve merely coping and adaptive strategies, but also transformative actions to make cities better, for both the short and long-term, in the good times and bad.
One thing is clear – cities are sick of just planning, and not taking action. We intend to help them take action.
solving problems in new, transformative ways

The City Resilience Framework Maintain protective natural and man-made assets that reduce the physical vulnerability of city systems. This includes natural systems like wetlands, mangroves and sand dunes or built infrastructure like sea walls or levees.
