From technical resilience toward urban services resilience
Year: 2011
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Urban resilience will be the next objective of many countries if they want to overcome the worthening disasters and the growing global competition. But the specificities of urban systems, at both technical and organisationnal level requires new methods to tackle complex behaviours and interdependencies. Indeed, technical networks are considered here as the backbone of the city, providing energy, water and other services to every point of the territory. Thus, they need to be resilient in order to ensure a smooth functionning and the continuity of service in case of disturbance. Inspired from safety methods, failures and disturbances of technical networks can be thoroughly assessed and geolocated with a dedicated tool. Then the operability of the method is ensured by a collaborative work between network managers and city services. Based on the scientific assessment of failures and interdependencies, a shared diagnosis highlights the interactions between actors' decisions and fosters an integrated planning in order to improve urban resilience.
