Acerca del evento
Economic resilience refers to a community's capacity to better endure and recover from adverse events. It highlights the significant interconnection between resilience planning and economic development. A notable example is the Nippon Steel plant in Kamaishi, Japan, where insufficient infrastructure repair planning disrupted operations and caused global ripple effects, impacting companies like Toyota in the United States.
This workshop will delve into how efforts to enhance economic resilience—such as aligning public and private infrastructure with job creation goals, strengthening essential services, communicating risks, organizing communities, adopting effective land-use practices, and establishing clear recovery expectations for businesses—can bolster long-term economic stability and competitiveness.
As David Dodd points out, resilience has become a crucial factor in investment decisions and corporate location recommendations.
