100 Resilient Cities

The Washington D.C. workshop, held on 30 October 2018 and convened by 100 Resilient Cities, focused on organisations representing the Diagnose and Conceive section of the value chain of critical infrastructure. Participants included a wide range of private and non-profit tool developers, city and state tool users, and private and non-profit organizations that influence the use of tools.

Facilitated by the 100 Resilience Cities’ Strategy Delivery team, the workshop was the first of workshop in this series, followed by events in New Orleans and London.

See Washington D.C. workshop report.

Demand

We asked participants what their needs and challenges were in terms of implementing resilience tools.

Supply

The Supply session gave five tool developers an opportunity to pitch their tool and the ways that it is being used and accessed.

Support

The final session discussed the Support needed by users and developers, in light of their experience and reflections on the day.

“This workshop brought together two very important groups of people – tool users and tool developers – which allowed us to have a very fruitful conversation to better understand the challenges faced by each party. This was particularly useful for me as a tool developer because it helped me to better understand the challenges that the implementers of resilient infrastructure faced so that my tool could better support them. I can now take this thinking back with me as I plan the next steps for the development and roll-out of CAT-I”

-Geoffrey Morgan, CAT-I Developer, United Nations Office of Project Services (UNOPS)

“This kind of workshop reflects that resilience cannot be built by governments alone, but that commitment from developers, the private sector, and civil society is necessary to design and implement stronger programs. In fact, after presenting our challenge at the workshop and interacting with the tool developers we decided to use the RVR tool this Spring in my city!”.

-Martina Ferrarino, Deputy Chief Resilience Officer, Buenos Aires
