讲座摘要：
During the last decade, urban development has reached new submits with generation of mega cities that concentrates several millions of inhabitants. Those new urban environments represent unknown challenges for modern societies that are still using – implicitly or explicitly – the same concepts for urban development since millennia. Sustainability of urban centres is today a major priority that has to be approached in a holistic way. The size of cities requests to rethink and review some of the engineering concepts that are currently used and to shift from the centralized approach to the distributed and connected paradigm. At the same time, gradual sophistication of urban environment has generated a significant increase of global vulnerability regarding extreme weather events that are frequently affecting urban communities. Recent examples in North America, Europe and Asia have clearly underlined the limits of the classical engineering approach used for the design of structural protections and have pushed to develop a risk culture for promoting awareness and adequate answers. In this context, the resilience has emerged as a new paradigm that mays provide an alternative, relevant and holistic approach for urban environments facing major challenges with extreme weather events. Today, many definitions could be found for urban resilience. In order to bring resilience within the daily engineering practice, it is essential to equip the paradigm with practical methods and tools. The starting point is based on the description of the urban environment with functions and services. Events such as floods and inundations, droughts, snowstorms are affecting such functions and services. The capacity of each house, each block, district and city to recover and to restore functions and services after a crisis could be defined as resilience. This capacity can be easily analysed by inhabitants, engineers, urban planners and policy makers in order to achieve a first shared diagnostic. Projects that could provide improvements can be evaluated through the same protocol and compared with the current situation. Then decision can be made for the solution that is providing the best answer. The presentation will address a diversity of situations and presents how the resilience could be introduced in an operational way for engineering design.
