Bounce Forward

In an era rocked by severe weather events and other disruptions, our cities must be resilient to survive and thrive.  But what does that mean, exactly?

A new report, Bounce Forward: Urban Resilience in the Era of Climate Change, sets out to answer that question.

Bounce Forward was prepared by the Island Press Urban Resilience Project, in partnership with the Kresge Foundation. Informed by dozens of leading thinkers in ecology, social justice, green building and more, Bounce Forward offers a powerful framework for thinking about how our cities can thrive in turbulent times.
