Flagship product: the City Resilience Action Plan (CityRAP) Tool

Main principle:

innovative tool for building urban resilience that allow for the identification of problems and technical solutions, while fostering capacity retention and empowering local actors

KEY CHALLENGES FOR BUILDING RESILIENCEin small and medium cities

1. Lack of technical capacity and

experiences

2. Lack of data and information

3. Lack of financial resourcesExisting tools are often too complex, demanding

and not adapted to the reality of these cities

THE CITY RESILIENCE ACTION PLANNING TOOL

Why urban resilience? • Dynamic and ongoing process• Encompassing: considers a wide range of disruptive events that

may not be predictable

• It is about systems , and therefore essentially cross-sectorial

THE CITY RESILIENCE ACTION PLANNING TOOL

Four innovative premises:

1 Targets small to intermediate cities

2 The municipality is the leader of the process

3 Leverages local knowledge through simplified tools

4 The final product (RAP) isinter-sectorial & implementable

CITY RAP RESPONDING TO CHALLENGES in small and medium cities

1. Lack of technical capacity and

experiences

2. Lack of data and information

3. Lack of financial resources

Reinforces capacity, transfer skills and tools to municipal technicians through trainings, on-the-job

exercises and group activities

Leverage local knowledge and information to kickstart processes; identify key gaps for future

action through the RAP

RAP can be powerful tool mobilising and channeling resources
