City Resilience Global Programme (CRGP) responds to local government and stakeholder demand for generating metrics for urban resilience in order to establish baselines (or ‘profiles’) upon which to integrate resilience based inputs to sustainable urban planning, development, and management processes in cities and other human settlements throughout the world.
The main goal of the CRGP is to support local governments and their stakeholders in transforming urban areas into safer and better places to live in, and improve their capacity to absorb and rebound quickly to any and all potential shocks or stresses.
