Resilient cities – Questions for urban designers

Cities as self-organizing systems – I’ll let the author of this Urban Times Daily Digest post, Andrew Mackenzie, explain:

The following ten propositions about cities are based on the work of Brian Walker and David Salt in their new book, Resilience Practice. Written for resource managers in particular, Resilience Practice offers much for urban designers to think about in terms of their own thinking and practice. These ten propositions and questions are just a taste of resilience thinking- I strongly recommend any one working in the field of urban design policy and practice to read this book.
