Trust is the underlying condition with which this think tank on Resilient Urban Systems in Transition hopes to strengthen and improve the relationships between human beings and the ecosystems of which they form part. As part of exploring our own confidence about the possibility of a resilient urban future, we are also aware of our responsibility as custodians entrusted with a fragile system that is facing an uncertain future. By trusting each other, we begin a journey toward a new awareness of the interconnectedness of all living systems on the planet.
