Nature-Based Solutions for Resilient and Biodiverse Cities
The City Resilience Department of the Municipality of Milan and 100 Resilient Cities – Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation (100RC), together with Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, are hosting a two-day 100RC Network Exchange to discuss nature and natural infrastructure as key drivers of urban resilience. In 2017, the Municipality of Milan established a City Resilience Department that, with the input of many and relevant stakeholders and cross-sectoral parties, developed Milan’s Preliminary Resilience Assessment (PRA) – a holistic scan of the city’s current state of resilience, including its key assets, risks, and opportunities for intervention. The Resilience Department is now working towards finalizing Milan’s Resilience Strategy, a plan where nature-based solutions, such as urban forestry, play a prominent role in the effort of strengthening the city’s overall resilience to key shocks and stresses.
