The first National Colloquium on Urban Resilience was jointly hosted by the University of Pretoria and the CSIR to develop a shared understanding of the meaning of urban resilience and create a national community of practice. Academics from the major South African Universities and research councils, as well as stakeholders in government and the private sector gathered in Pretoria to discuss five questions:
What is urban resilience?
How do we apply the concepts of resilience in cities?
Can we predict or determine urban resilience?
Should we promote urban resilience?
Will urban resilience look different in a developing world context?
