是时候蓬勃发展了：城市韧性从趋势转向必要性

The World Governments Summit is a global platform dedicated toshaping the future of governments worldwide. Each year, the Summitsets the agenda for the next generation of governments with a focuson how they can harness innovation and technology to solve universalchallenges facing humanity.The World Governments Summit is a knowledge exchange center atthe intersection of government, futurism, technology, and innovation.It functions as a thought leadership platform and networking hub forpolicymakers, experts and pioneers in human development.The Summit is a gateway to the future as it functions as the stage foranalysis of future trends, concerns, and opportunities facing humanity.It is also an arena to showcase innovations, best practice, and smartsolutions to inspire creativity to tackle these future challenges.To Inspireand EnableThe Next Generationof GovernmentsWorld Governments Summit Table of ContentsExecutive SummaryRedefining Norms: The Post-Pandemic EvolutionRevitalizing Resilience: The Second Edition of theUrban Resilience IndexCore Insights: Key findings from the UrbanResilience Index 2022Unlocking Urban Secrets: A Deep Diveinto Major TransformationsThe Interconnectedness of Urban ResilienceAppendixConclusionAbout Strategy&About the Ideation Center 01030511212531293434 The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the urgent need for cities worldwide to becomemore resilient. Since then, that need has only grown. Urbanization is making citypopulations swell, and growth is projected to continue in the coming decades.At the same time, cities face a wide range of threats—both natural (increasinglydue to climate-related factors) and human-caused (such as traffic, crime, incomedisparity, and unemployment)—that are growing in frequency and severity.Strategy&, in partnership with the World Governments Summit (WGS), has developedan evidence-based urban resilience framework that enables cities to assess their:Executive SummaryThe framework is supported by 131 key performance indicators(KPIs) and a detailed qualitative checklist.Exposure to Hazards01Vulnerabilities02Institutional Capacities to Respond,Recover, and Transform in the Faceof Shocks03 World Government Summit In 2020, we introduced this framework andpublished our assessment of urban resiliencein 20 cities, including 11 in the Middle Eastand North Africa (MENA) region. In this edition,our second assessment, we expanded thebase of cities to 50. This report presents theresults of our analysis. We find that althoughcities and regions have made notable stridesto become more resilient over the past fewyears, many still need to improve. The reportalso offers case studies of specific measuresthat cities around the world—such as Beijing,Dubai, New York, Riyadh, and São Paulo—aretaking to boost their resilience.Last—and most important—our analysissuggests that the various dimensions ofurban resilience are interrelated. Enhancingeven one dimension has positive implicationsthat cascade into other aspects of city life.In particular, cities that invest in innovationcan trigger a range of benefits in otherareas, creating a multiplier effect in terms ofresilience. Innovative cities are more effectiveat solving problems, building strong andstable economies, and responding to stressorsand disruptions. That is a powerful lessonto city leaders seeking to prioritize specificinitiatives among many: Innovation is akinto a “master capability” that enhances othertypes of capabilities and makes cities moreresilient overall. 03Redefining NormsThe Post-Pandemic EvolutionThe COVID-19 pandemic highlighted cities’systemic weaknesses, overwhelminghealthcare systems and triggeringeconomic repercussions. Businesses closed,unemployment rates soared, and cities had tonavigate the balance between public healthand economic activity.The pandemic is now largely in check, but evenas cities deal with its aftereffects—in areassuch as accelerated digital adoption, the shiftto telework, and broader e-commerce—theyface another set of disruptors.Climate Change andEnvironmental StabilityClimate change threatens cities withextensive and multifaceted risks. Storms andother natural hazards are expected to increasein frequency and intensity, affecting cities’economies, the delivery of basic needs, andevery other aspect of urban life.Artificial Intelligence (AI)and AutomationAI and automation can radically transformindustries, economies, and daily life bystreamlining processes, enhancing decision-making, and unlocking new possibilities across sectors. However, these technologiesbring with them ethical dilemmas, jobdisplacement, and the need for robustgovernance.Demographic ShiftsSome regions are experiencing an agingpopulation; others have a large youthpopulation. Both scenarios lead tosignificant changes in labor markets,healthcare demands, and generationaldynamics. Cities need adaptive policies andinnovative solutions to manage the evolvingneeds and expectations of their diversedemographic groups.Connectivity
