Measuring Resilience

Community-informed and evidence-based resilience metrics in New York City

view report pdf

Environmental Defense Fund and Regional Plan Association worked in collaboration with partners and stakeholders in New York City on a pilot project to characterize consistent resilience priorities articulated by stakeholders and to identify indicators that could be used to measure progress toward those goals across specific geographies. This project aims to lay the groundwork and process for developing specific resilience performance targets in New York City and beyond, that are evidence-based, community-informed, easily updated and can support advocacy and management decision-making over time.
