Towards Resilient Urban Planning Systems: Using the Systems Thinking Approach
Abstract
At the heart of this publication is a simple but urgent message: cities cannot be planned in silos. Housing, mobility, land, infrastructure, climate adaptation, public space, finance, governance and social inclusion are deeply interconnected. Towards Resilient Urban Planning Systems explores how systems thinking can help us move beyond isolated interventions and instead understand the relationships, feedback loops, institutions and governance structures that shape urban development as a whole. Developed through the collaboration of CITIES FORUM and Institute for Urban Excellence.
