Resilient Cities

ü  Build trust and legitimacy in local structures and authorities;

ü  Create opportunities for skills decentralization and resource optimization;

ü  Improve Quality of Life with reduction of fatalities and damages;

ü  Implement more active citizen participation;

ü  Promote cost reduction in response actions;

building.

CITIES WITH THESE CHARACTERISTICS ATTRACT MORE INVESTMENT
