Urban Resilience dialogues

In this fifth episode of Urban Resilience Dialogues we talked about the role of tools to support communities and cities to build their resilience and explored the role tools can play in helping us to operationalise resilience.

We had the chance to discussed with Evandro Holz and Mariano Rossi, co-founders of ClUrb, a startup developing and implementing digital tools on urban topics, such as disaster risk management and slum upgrading, focused on the least resourced cities and communities.
