°¿±¹±ð°ù±¹¾±±ð·É:ÌýAs the scale and intensity of disasters continue to increase, building and enhancing resilience to disasters has become a critical policy and governance issue. Of particular importance to this topic is urban infrastructure resilience because infrastructure systems support the continuity of operations of governments and businesses, and are essential to the economy, society, and safety. The presentation applies a network governance perspective to examine interdependent infrastructure systems’ resilience such as water, power, transportation and telecommunication. This is critical for our understanding of the role of governing interdependent infrastructure systems to enhance urban infrastructure resilience to disasters. The presentation will also address the need to leverage collaborative leadership and organisational capacity to develop robust and connected networks to enhance resilience to disasters.
