Urban Systems: Vital systems for a resilient future-proof city
conference paper
Our society runs on vital systems: energy, water, mobility, waste, and digital infrastructure. Without them, our economy would not function, cities would cease to operate, and citizens would be left struggling. Yet these systems are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Climate change, energy transition, digitalisation, and rapid urban growth are putting pressure on existing infrastructures (Gilbert et al., 2022). Municipalities, as coordinators – or orchestrators – of the urban environment (Koulen, et al., 2006; MRA platform Smart Mobility, 2023), face an urgent challenge. How do we ensure that vital systems not only continue to function, but also adapt to a future that is becoming increasingly unpredictable?
