RESURBE III MEXICO International Conference on Urban and Regional Resilience “Empowering Local Communities for Action” under the RESURBE International Programme on Urban Resilience, coordinated by the Recycling the City International Network (RECNET) and partner organizations, ended successfully its works.

The RESURBE program seeks to promote research, capacity building and urban development projects worldwide and support the policy in resilience at local and regional level (adaptation, mitigation and risk to climate change).

International experts from 12 countries together with 14 local communities and civil society organizations from 6 Mexican States (Mexico, Saltillo, Puebla, Chiapas, Veracruz and San Luis Potosí) gathered at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) to rethink the new challenges for urban and regional resilience transition.

RESURBE PROGRAM


OBJECTIVES

The International Conference on Urban and Regional Resilience RESURBE III aimed at promoting the discussion on the empowerment of communities to carry out local actions for resilience transition within three main areas:

• Definition of real life challenges faced by local communities to achieve resilience, from the social, environmental and economic perspective, and confronting risk in the short and long term.

• Redefinition of the role of universities in identifying and implementing practical solutions for urban resilience, supporting the local communities.

• Definition of scopes for knowledge brokerage and co-creation between local communities and different stakeholders at the local level to support actions for resilience, through community empowerment.

RESURBE III Impact and Results

Experts from 12 countries, from the areas of architecture and urbanism, ecology, engineering, sociology and humanities, delivered 125 presentations, in a framework of a trans-disciplinary exchange.

The international experts engaged in an open dialogue with 14 local communities from Mexico during the “Day of the Communities”, enabling the exchange and transfer of knowledge.

RESURBE III made good use of dialogue and presentation alternative platforms, to improve the knowledge exchange, such as videoconferencing sessions, which allowed the presence of some of the international speakers who could not travel to Mexico, and the Speakers’ Corner, where experts could exchange information in a highly interactive format, which also encouraged interaction with students from the Faculty of Architecture at the UNAM.

RESURBE III RESULTS

Communications by Working Group: WG1, Risk and adaptation; WG2, Methodologies & Tools; WG3, Urban Planning; WG4, Intangible Heritage & Appropriate Technologies; WG5, Urban Metabolism & Circular Economy; WG6, Participative processes; WG7, Cities & Health.

Communications by Country.


RESURBE PROGRAM

RESURBE program is an interdisciplinary and international platform, in collaboration with over 30 organizations worldwide, including UN-HABITAT City Resilience Profiling Program (CRPP) and Recyclying the City Network (RECNET).

RESURBE Program aims to facilitate knowledge co-creation and exchange between local and regional governments, universities and research centres, international organizations and other stakeholders from private and public sectors. RESURBE adopts a participatory community development approach, by favouring innovation of socio-ecological systems in order to reduce the vulnerability of local communities and to improve human wellbeing.

RESURBE PROGRAM

RESURBE is structured by seven thematic areas and Working Groups.

WG 1. Risk management, adaptation and resilience

WG 2. Methodologies and tools for resilience and systemic eco-innovation.

WG 3. Process design and strategic urban/regional planning.

WG 4. Intangible heritage and appropriate technologies.

WG 5. Circular economy and urban metabolism.

WG 6. Participatory processes, co-design and co-evolution.

WG 7. Climate change and healthy cities.

Re-thinking Urban Transformation

The best practices are taken from a global city base including, Barcelona, Medellin, Adelaide, Copenhagen, Seoul, and Accra, among others.
