Planning a Resilient Pittsburgh for Everyone

Pittsburgh’s popularity is on the rise and while some areas are benefiting, many neighborhoods suffer abandonment and violence, our population and infrastructure are aging, and climate change will bring new challenges. How can we create a resilient city that is safe and most livable for everyone?

100RC defines urban resilience as “the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses within a city to survive, adapt and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience.”

Join in the discussion by attending one of two upcoming forums designed to gather citizens’ input on challenges they face in their communities. City representatives will be present.

Tuesday, Nov 17
6:00 – 8:30 pm

Food will be provided.

Thursday, Nov 19
6:00 – 8:30 pm
East Liberty Presbyterian
116 S Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206

At these forums, you will have the opportunity to discuss Pittsburgh resilience with neighbors, city representatives and experts in public safety, public health, and sustainability.

City resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience. More information at http://resilient.pittsburghpa.gov
