The European Union defines resilience as the ability to withstand and undergo transitions in a sustainable, fair and democratic way. For an urban system, resilience represents the ability to adapt and transform in response to stress while maintaining its essential functions and identities. The designer is therefore called to guide this movement, conducting innovative analyses and validating and experimenting with new ways of designing cities. Designing resilience involves adopting a holistic and systemic approach that considers the interdependencies and interactions between different urban components. Only by addressing urban habitats in their entirety can designers truly understand the changing kinetics of cities and their populations.
