The City of Dallas is moving down the path of thinking about resiliency. More cities and communities need to be thinking about the issue of resiliency - especially in the context of sustainability.
I participated in a day long workshop last Thursday. We divided into table groups to discuss the foundation concepts of resiliency. One exercise had us discuss and vote on the top risks that the City of Dallas faces in the future. The risks were pre-identified for the group - - ten risks ranging from infrastructure failure to climate change to poverty to education to income inequality. When you looked at the list it was interesting that our plots regarding the future have a starting point with our fears in the present. It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be a good way to think about future risks.
