Abstract

Mapping Resilient Communities is an international survey aiming at shading light on the industrious and tireless work of public and private institutions, non-profit organizations and informal civic groups that promote ideas, projects and initiatives with a strong connotation of resilience, in its environmental, social and economic terms.
Mapping Resilient Communities identifies tangible results based on experiences of knowledge transfer, capacity building and capacity development, intended as building something new from the ground up, and promotion of a dynamic and flexible process, built on existing skills and knowledge, involving local actors.
