Resilienz planen: Digitale Werkzeuge für den Wiederaufbau ukrainischer Städte

Natural disasters, wars, military conflicts – against the backdrop of such global phenomena, the concept of resilience is an approach that can hardly be overestimated. It can be used to measure the robustness and resilience of urban systems, and on this basis, planning decisions can be made with the perspective of permanently restoring the balance of urban structures and processes. Resilience research has done extensive groundwork in this area over the past decades. Nevertheless, two major challenges are evident in the context of architecture and urban planning. Firstly, there is no uniform and generally binding resilience concept, but rather a variety of partly overlapping, partly contradictory approaches. Secondly, it is unclear how resilience assessments can be effectively translated into planning measures. These difficulties are exacerbated in conflict situations, where the need for the fastest and most effective response possible to shocks and the desire for rapid normalization often conflict with the goals of sustainable social and spatial development.
