Urban Studies Institute postdoc Lelani Mannetti and assistant professor David Iwaniec were organizers and presenters of two UREx SRN sessions on “Co-Producing Urban Transformative Visions for Resilience to Extreme Events” at the Transformations 2019 conference in Santiago, Chile. Both sessions fell under the theme of Learning from each other: integrating different knowledge and thinking for transformation.
The Urban Resilience to Extremes Sustainability Research Network (UREx SRN) is working to build a scientific basis to support existing and emerging city initiatives and incorporate fundamental and practical strategies to promote urban resilience from a social-ecological-technical/infrastructural system dimensions and sustainability approach. The research project involves working with cities in the United States and Latin America.
