This document discusses making cities more resilient to disasters. It focuses on examples of cities coping with flooding, including Venice dealing with large scale flooding and tsunamis. It also discusses water management in Singapore and coping capacities in Portland, Herning, and Copenhagen. The document emphasizes that planning for resilience is important to deal with both large and small scale crises and that the risks of inaction are greater than the costs of taking action to increase a city's resilience.

New will be launched to fit the members’ needs. Members have great possibility to influence and take activities forward. IFHP facilitate people meet people. It’s about network, dialogues, making entry points available for each other.

- Resilience Science Canadian ecologist C.S. “Buzz” Holling, 1973, humans and nature are strongly coupled and co-evolving, and should therefore be conceived of as one “social-ecological” system. 2) the long-held assumption that systems respond to change in a linear, predictable fashion is simply wrong. According to resilience thinking: systems are in constant flux; they are highly unpredictable and self-organizing, with feedbacks across time and space.
- a multi-level understanding of the resilience of urban systems which recognises: the role of metabolic flows in sustaining urban functions, human well-being and quality of life governance networks and the ability of society to learn, adapt and reorganise to meet urban challenges the social dynamics of people as citizens, members of communities, users of services, consumers of products .. the relationship with the built environment which defines the physical patterns of urban form and their spatial relations and interconnections

Which is why we can share experience, solutions and knowledge, - the majority of the cities in the world share a similar geography, though concrete challenges may differ.

- Resilience Science Focuses on tipping points Many natrual catastrophes gives a greater impact because of town planning – or because of the lack of town planning! This photo because of the fact of the many cities close to the sea. Here it is the tsunami in Japan in 2012.

- It didn’t quite turn out the way the professionals of the past had in mind. Some things cannot be foreseen or imagined! The Economist gave out a special issue in April 2014 about the challenges in China, and Expressway 110 in China; Traffic jams are inherent to the emerging urban landscape of the world’s fastest growing cities. Congestions causes by traffic is inextricably linked to the new urban landscape. And we have only seen the top of the iceberg

- Using the last 100-years of experience as a stepping-stone for moving forward We are here to stay. We are not an one-night-stand. IFHP is the access to a Global network of professionals in the field of Urban delvelopment. We are 10 persons at the Copenhagen Office, but our members are active in our activities and development which is much more valauble than the staffs efforts. We have a field office at FAU-PUCRS – Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil (photo of Ole, Paulo and Renee, 2013) NGO, member-based and –driven organization which (May 2014) is in a transition where we have begun to develop new activities to fit the new century for the organization. More to come! Founder: Ebenezer Howard, Garden City movement.
