Toward Resilient Cities and Landscapes Launch Event
On March 27, 2018, an event combined an introduction and statement of purpose for the newly-established Center for Resilient Cities and Landscapes (CRCL) with a panel discussion. CRCL introduced its inaugural project, the creation of the groundbreaking Resilience Accelerator in partnership with 100 Resilient Cities (100RC). The Resilience Accelerator aims to leverage the research, planning, and design expertise at Columbia University with the local knowledge and relationships of partner cities to advance high-priority resilience projects that will help cities confront the impacts of climate change.
A panel of CRCL-affiliated faculty discussed how Columbia can bridge research and policy and bring science and design expertise to real-world challenges in cities around the globe.
