“…Resilience thinking has infiltrated a vast diversity of fields, gaining prevalence in the natural, physical, and social sciences. The concept's relevance and usefulness extends beyond ecology, engineering, and economics (Davoudi et al, 2017). Urban planning is no exception.…”

“…While the term resilience is becoming more prevalent in urban planning and related fields such as engineering and disaster risk management, a weariness and critical approach to resilience is pertinent so that it does not become merely a buzzword. Rather, the meaning of the term and how it is operationalized need to be carefully considered through dialogue, planning, and action (Davoudi et al, 2017), incorporating context-specific priorities and risks.…”

Climate change is a systemic issue embedded in and interconnected with the social and economic makeup of a city. Building urban climate resilience requires innovative, collaborative solutions that hinge upon the openness and availability of current and contextual data. Open data tools, in stimulating information sharing, civic engagement, and innovative products, can contribute to climate change planning, building lasting resilience. Through an exploratory research methodology, this paper explores 17 international use cases, providing a basis for the implementation of open data tools in the realm of urban climate resilience, through the following five themes: 1) risk and vulnerability assessment; 2) the inception of initiatives; 3) diverging approaches to preparedness; 4) community mobilization; and 5) mitigation and adaptation. This research aims to spark a dialogue on the intersection of open data tools in urban climate resilience strategies, demonstrating open data as an appropriate tool to cultivate shared understanding and collective action.

“…Traditional definitions of resilience often suggest the ability to bounce back from disasters, which suggest that one returns to a "stable state" that existed prior to a disaster event (Paton et al 2001); however, more recent definitions suggest a different approach: "bounce forward" resilience (Kresge Foundation, 2015). While bounce back perspectives of resilience often suggest returning to the status quo, bounce forward perspectives promote "just resilience," or strategies and policies "to offer an alternative political orientation that fundamentally addresses the conditions that necessitate resilient individuals, communities, and societies" (Davoudi, Lawrence, & Bohland, 2018, n/p) that promote equity, inclusion, and justice. There are several steps of action for bounce-forward resilience (Kresge Foundation, 2015).…”

“…Since then, resilience has become part of the disaster risk management (DRM) programmes that emerged through global forums such as Yokohama strategy, Millennium Declaration, Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), and most recently the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (Hollis, 2014, p. 328 for fuller genealogy see e.g. Davoudi et al , 2019). Some scholars argue further that resilience has replaced vulnerability as the main discourse in DRM, where “victims of disasters are cast as heroes of resiliency” (Davoudi et al , 2019, p. 24).…”

PurposeThe neoliberal resilience discourse and its critiques both contribute to its hegemony, obscuring alternative discourses in the context of risk and uncertainties. Drawing from the “ontology of potentiality”, the authors suggest reclaiming “resilience” through situated accounts of the connected and relational every day from the global south. To explore alternate possibilities, the authors draw attention to the social ontology of disaster resilience that foregrounds relationality, intersectionality and situated knowledge.Design/methodology/approachQuilting together the field work experiences in India, Indonesia, Nepal, Chile and Andean territories, the authors interrogate the social ontologies and politics of resilience in disaster studies in these contexts through six vignettes. Quilting, as a research methodology, weaves together various individual fragments involving their specific materialities, situated knowledge, layered temporalities, affects and memories. The authors’ six vignettes discuss the use, politicisation and resistance to resilience in the aftermath of disasters.FindingsWhile the pieces do not try to bring out a single “truth”, the authors argue that firstly, the vignettes provide non-Western conceptualisations of resilience, and attempts to provincialise externally imposed notions of resilience. Secondly, they draw attention to social ontology of resilience as the examples underscores the intersubjectivity of disaster experiences, the relational reaching out to communities and significant others.Originality/valueDrawing from in-depth research conducted in six disaster contexts by seven scholars from South Asia, South America and Northern Europe, the authors embrace pluralist situated knowledge, and cross-cultural/language co-authoring. Thus, the co-authored piece contributes to diversifying disaster studies scholarship methodologically.
