Description
"Resource/energy efficiency, regreening, and disaster/hazard planning" is 1 of 3 goals of Rio's Resilience Strategy. Our aspirations for a more resilient Rio are focused on evolving our city's relationship with water, its built infrastructure, and its citizens. A resilient Rio is one that embraces its natural environment, builds for the future, and empowers its people. All of the initiatives previewed below involve concepts, projects, and specific actions that are transversal and multidisciplinary. Connection, collaboration, and the identification of co-benefits are the foundation of our strategy, and the means by which we'll make Rio a global benchmark for urban resilience as we look towards the city's 500th anniversary in 2065.
