Urban Resilience in Action: the Resilient Melbourne Strategy as Transformative Urban Innovation Policy?

Abstract: More and more cities are developing strategies and implementing actions to increase their resilience to a diversity of environmental, social and economic challenges. International networks such as 100 Resilient Cities, established by the Rockefeller Foundation, are supporting cities to find and implement solutions to 'shocks and stresses.' This new approach to urban governance, often initiated by philanthropic organizations, is debated. On the one hand, these initiatives are celebrated as catalysts for transfo… Show more

“…This issue further reflects the literature mainstream, questioning how innovation can thrive in a risk-averse environment like the public sector. Despite the differences, our findings confirm the gist of cooperation networks ensuring sustainable change and urban experimentation [81,82], especially in light of the data management field.…”

“…A body of work on the practice of resilience making in 100RC cities is growing, ranging from accounts on the practical implementation of resilience from a city perspective [17,18] to more critical accounts that draw attention to its inconsistencies and contestations related to the increasing private sector involvement in urban development planning and governance [19,20]. This work links up with a growing literature on the ways in which urban governance is being reconfigured in an age of "rising city networks" [21].…”

“…Due to the very fast changes and flexibility in contemporary "liquid" society, cities are unambiguously unpredictable and complicated systems that neither the laws of economics nor mechanics alone can well explain [1][2][3]. Numerous updated studies suggest that innovation performance is critical to complex urban economic resilience, which determines the city's potential to cope with "disturbance" in financial tsunamis [4][5][6]. Yet, while China's innovation outputs have far outweighed most countries, there is far from a full spectrum of understanding about how innovation spatially evolves and what factors determine such evolution in Chinese cities.…”
