Resilience Masterclass

Understand the shocks and stressors likely to face our communities and the built environment, and how to respond to them.

With initiatives like the 100 Resilient Cities program pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation being delivered in Sydney and Melbourne, as well as the Australian Business roundtable on Disaster Resilience and Safer Communities, there is an increasing interest and groundswell in the field of resilience.

But what is it and how do we ensure our communities are primed to be more resilient to the shocks and stresses they are set to face?

This course is relevant to those seeking to learn about this emerging and critical field in the built environment.

Hear from multiple case study speakers who will explore:

• A regional perspective on how urban and community resilience is applied
• How to embed resilience on a corporate level across portfolios
• A practical, project case study on how resilience has been adopted

You’ll also take part in group activities that provide practical and up-to-date knowledge you’ll need to succeed in this important emerging field.

By the end of the masterclass you’ll have an understanding of:

• How resilience practice has evolved and emerged
• Key concepts and terminology that underpin resilient communities including ‘what do we mean when we talk about resilience?’
• The diverse range of approaches and interventions that can be made to help build resilience within cities and communities - including leading examples of how organisations are addressing resilience at both a business and community level, as well as a city scale
• How the GBCA is supporting and helping to further the resilience agenda through the Green Star Communities tool.

Attendance at this workshop will earn you 4 Green Star CPD points.
