متن کاملEnhancing Infrastructure Resilience Under Conditions of Incomplete Knowledge of Interdependencies
Today’s infrastructures — such as road, rail, gas, electricity and ICT — are highly interdependent, and may best be viewed as multi-infrastructure systems. A key challenge in seeking to enhance the resilience of multi-infrastructure systems in practice relates to the fact that many interdependencies may be unknown to the operators of these infrastructures. How can we foster infrastructure resil...
متن کاملTime-dependent resilience assessment and improvement of urban infrastructure systems.
This paper introduces an approach to assess and improve the time-dependent resilience of urban infrastructure systems, where resilience is defined as the systems' ability to resist various possible hazards, absorb the initial damage from hazards, and recover to normal operation one or multiple times during a time period T. For different values of T and its position relative to current time, the...
متن کاملSpatial planning for multifunctional green infrastructure: Growing resilience in Detroit
Cities are expanding green infrastructure to enhance resilience and ecosystem services. Although green infrastructure is promoted for its multifunctionality, projects are typically sited based on a particular benefit, such as stormwater abatement, rather than a suite of socio-economic and environmental benefits. This stems in part from the lack of stakeholder-informed, city-scale approaches to ...
متن کاملAgent-based Modeling of Urban Tropical Green Infrastructure Investment
Alam Cipta Vol 6 (1) June 2013 ABSTRACT This document describes a conceptual methodology to investigate the dynamics of “bottom-up” green infrastructure (GI) investment in tropical urban areas. This approach seeks to develop a methodology of study to understand what policies may lead to more efficient investment policies that lead to a sustainable urban setting. Agent-based Modeling (ABM) was u...
