Powerful trends will shape cities over the next 15 years. These include a diminishing long-term goal setting capacity, growing climate change vulnerability, and sharper gaps between public and private goods delivery. A new and innovative urban resiliency, shaped by long-term inspirational visions, but drawing on decentralized, short-term, adaptable data-informed action with overlapping collaboration between the public, business and civil society sectors is not only possible, but critical.
