100 Resilient Cities
A
I
want
it,
I
want
to
just
take
some
time
as
word
digest
in
our
food
a
little
bit
and
thinking
a
little
bit
more
about
the
morning
session
to
introduce
you
to
our
our
mayor,
william
Peduto
I've
advised
a
lot
of
cities
in
the
past
around
resilience
and
strategic
development
and
whatnot,
and
despite
the
differences
in
geography,
culture,
population,
social,
economic
development,
etc.
What
really
stands
out
for
me
in
terms
of
a
successful
city
and
not
a
successful
city,
is
the
mayor,
the
leadership
behind
that
city.
A
It
doesn't
matter
if
you're,
a
small
city
or
you're
in
a
different
geography
or
whatever
stage
of
development.
The
real
defining
moment
is
when
the
mayor
actually
is
willing
to
take
initiative,
take
political
capital
and
understand
and
drive
the
forces
of
change
to
make
a
difference,
and
this
is
what
we
see
in
Pittsburgh.
You
heard
earlier
this
morning
about
how
competitive
the
process
was
in
order
for
us
to
become
a
resilient
City
with
Rockefeller
and
how
so
many
hundreds
of
cities
applied
and
I.
Think
you'll
you'll
hear
this.
A
You
heard
this
from
Rockefeller
as
well
as
that,
what
made
us
competitive
and
what
made
us
really
shine,
was
that
we
had
the
full
backing
of
a
mayor
and
not
only
the
full
backing
of
a
mayor,
but
the
back
end
of
mayor
who
actually
understood
these
very
tough
issues
around
sustainability
and
one
actually
that's
been
discussing
this
for
decades.
So
this
isn't
a
new
concept.
This
is
something
that
he's
been
talking
about
for
a
long
time
around
how
to
improve
our
sustainability
and
how
to
improve
our
resilience.
A
B
She
inspires
she
empowers
and
she
brings
together
the
best
and
the
greatest
that
this
city
has
to
offer
and
says:
what
can
we
do
to
do
more
together
and
I'm
going
to
be
political
for
a
minute
because
usually
am
not
political
but
as
I
look
around
this
room
and
I
see
so
many
different
people
at
every
table
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
for
nearly
20
years.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
step
back
and
think
about
things
about
two
years
ago
and
two
years
ago
it
was
a
quite
a
different
world.
B
Many
people
that
were
here
we're
trying
to
get
involved
in
politics,
not
really
political
in
nature,
but
trying
to
figure
out.
How
can
we
win
this
campaign
and
put
issues
like
this
at
the
forefront
not
at
the
little
card
table
where
they
had
been
put
or
where
they
were
glossed
over?
And
you
know
during
that
campaign,
they're
literally
wasn't
the
support
that
we
needed
to
win
I
mean
we.
Both
newspapers
opposed
us,
the
firefighters
and
the
police
and
the
building
trades
weren't
there.
B
Only
to
see
it
be
built
than
with
iron
and
steel
in
the
factories
that
led
to
the
environmental
destruction
in
the
great
disparity
between
the
haves
and
the
have-nots
in
the
conditions
that
came
with
it
and
it's
kind
of
interesting.
Because
back
then
there
was
a
foundation
of
New
York
called
the
Russell
Sage
Foundation.
That
would
have
been
Heather's
great-great-grandfather.
B
B
We
were
building
them
to
the
destruction
of
their
own
good,
and
so
they
created
the
pittsburgh
survey
back
around
1908
and
the
Pittsburgh
survey
was
the
first
socio
economic
analysis
of
how
we
were
building
cities
and
it
really
shed
the
light
on
what
was
the
true
occurrence
of
what
was
happening,
not
only
in
Pittsburgh
but
everywhere
else.
That
was
part
of
this
early
Industrial
Age
and
the
nice
thing
about
it.
B
The
21st
century
is
the
century
of
cities.
This
whole
idea
about
having
a
place
where
you
work
and
then
getting
in
a
car
and
driving
for
40
minutes
to
go
to
a
different
place
to
sleep
than
driving
and
commuting.
That's
part
of
a
model
that
was
in
the
1940s
19
50s
and
his
left.
The
idea
of
having
these
research
and
technology
parks
that
were
sort
of
out
on
their
own
out
in
the
hinterlands,
where
you
be
able
to
drive
the
car
and
go
to
is
a
model
of
the
past.
B
All
of
them
and
we've
lived
through
disparity
and
we've
lived
through
the
different
challenges
that
cities
face,
but
we
never
planned
for
the
cases
that
were
about
to
happen.
Now
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
so
so
for
the
next
nine
months,
you're
going
to
be
tasked.
What
are
those
challenges?
What
are
we
going
to
face
in
the
next
ten
years,
the
next
20
years,
the
next
50
years?
B
A
Final
time
here,
thank
you
all
for
coming.
I
know
that
it's
it's
a
lot
to
take
the
day
out
of
your
your
schedules
here
to
stay
here
and
for
the
discussions
and
we've
gotten
some
really
really
great
contributions
and
responses,
and
and
like
we
said
this
is
the
first
of
many
further
exercises
and
events
and
stakeholder
engagement
pieces
that
will
use
to
build
our
resilience
plan
and
strategy.
So
you're
you're,
the
kickoff,
but
not
the
the
last
I,
just
want
to
introduce
you
to
the
key
person
behind
all
this.
A
So
when
you
heard
this
morning,
one
of
the
main
components,
one
of
the
four
components
that
Rockefeller
was
supporting
us
in-
was
the
resilient
unicorn
and-
and
this
is
the
termite
I've-
really
embraced
it
and
really
like,
because
this
unicorn,
as
as
you've
heard,
has
to
be
very
unique
and
special
to
guide
us
all
in
the
resilient
plan,
and
we
thought
long
and
hard
about
who
this
unicorn
could
be
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
especially
given
my
background.
Around
resilience.
A
I
was
actually
very,
very
picky
about
it
and
selective
because
the
standards
I
had
around
this
resilient
unicorn
was
very,
very
high,
but
one
person
came
up
on
top
most
of
you
all
of
you
know
him.
It
was
announced
earlier
at
the
press
conference
by
Mayor
William
Peduto
Eden
is
our
own
sustainability
manager
grant
Ervin
so.
A
Grant
is
a
very,
very
special
unicorn,
as
you
know,
he's
been.
You
know,
with
over
15
years
of
experience,
a
graduate
of
Washington
and
Jefferson
and
geese
piya
he's
been
in
this
community
front
and
center
integrated
thinking
about
different
collaboration,
moving
forward
around
everything,
from
fleet
management,
to
green
infrastructure,
to
green
buildings
and
now
on
to
resilience
so
without
further
ado
I'll.
Let
our
unicorn
speak
some
closing
comments.
C
I've
never
been
called
a
unicorn
until
today,
Thank
You,
chief
Liam.
Thank
you
for
remarks.
I
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
guidance
on
this
issue.
Without
Deborah
we
wouldn't
be
where
we
are
today,
one
of
the
things
that
she
has
done
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
not
just
through
her
energy
and
her
diligence
and
persistence.
She's
really
brought
the
world
to
Pittsburgh
in
so
many
ways.
C
Through
her
experience
through
her
knowledge
and
through
you
know
her
role
as
a
leader
and
a
manager
within
the
city,
if
you
don't
know
her
get
to
know
her
she's
really
a
special
person.
So
so
thank
you
for
anointing
me
as
the
unicorn.
It
means
a
lot
it
also
here
is
this.
You
know
that
that
when
Brian
have
brought
the
the
name
up
and
when
we
thought
through
the
process
and
the
journey
that
we're
embarking
on
it
is
a
daunting
challenge.
C
C
You
know
the
the
impediments
that
we
can
potentially
face,
but
the
challenge
is:
how
do
we
turn
those
impediments
into
opportunities
and-
and
that's
really
how
if
we
have
to
create
the
framework
right
that
the
issue
is
whether
it's
combined
sewer
overflows
or
energy
sources
or
energy
consumption?
How
do
we
start
to
integrate?
How
do
we
start
to
create
co-benefits?
How
do
we
create
synergies-
and
that's
really
what's
about
next?
Is
the
idea
is
how
do
we
take
what
we're
learning
through
our
dialogues
in
each
of
these
tables
and
start
to
create
these
cross
currents?
C
You
know
the
idea
that
we
could
take
a
neighborhood
for,
for
example,
like
uptown,
which
for
30
years
has
been.
You
know,
basically
an
isolated
entity,
a
community
that
is
a
place
that
we
go
through,
typically
not
a
place
that
we
go
to,
and
now
you
have
a
dialogue.
You
have
action
where
institutions
were
neighbors
where
businesses
are
starting
to
come
together
to
rethink
what
it
means
to
be
a
neighborhood.
You
know
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
is
a
city
of
90
different,
very
distinct
neighborhoods.
C
If
you
speak
to
anyone
from
any
one
of
those
neighborhoods
right,
but
the
idea
that
we
can
learn
from
each
other
that
we
could
share
those
experiences
that
we
can
integrate
the
opportunities
that
we
can
integrate.
The
solutions
is
really
where
we're
at
we're
really
at
the
forefront
of
thinking
about
the
what's
next
in
terms
of
Pittsburgh.
So
a
couple
of
quick
reflections
with
regards
to
the
work
that
we've
done
today
so,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you.
C
Justin
Miller
just
reminded
me
that,
since
you
are
here,
you
are
resilient.
You
started
the
day.
You
went
through
the
effort
and
you're
here
at
the
very
end,
to
see
the
fruits
of
your
labor
and
that's
special.
That's
a
testament
to
you
all
that
you
have
a
certain
amount
of
stick-to-itiveness
to
bring
your
energy
and
your
time,
and
we
greatly
appreciate
that
in
terms
of
the
stakeholder
mapping.
You
know
the
one
thing
to
two
quick
things
that
I
think
that
are
really
important.
That
I
think
are
really
special.
C
The
other
thing
that
I
think
is
really
interesting
is
if
you
look
at
the
opportunities
that
we
have
with
the
what
is
resilience
there's
a
lot
of
commonalities,
that
you'll
see
there
there's
a
lot
of
common
threads
and
then
the
other
issue.
That's
probably
the
most
amazing
is.
If
you
look
at
the
far
wall
on
the
right
there
and
my
right,
you
will
see
a
host
of
activities
that
are
already
underway
and
that's
a
testament
to
what
it
means
to
be
a
pittsburgher.
We
have
this
energy,
we
have
this
enthusiasm
and
there's
so
much
great.
C
C
That
is
a
briefing
document
of
the
material
that
we've
created
today,
but
then,
following
that,
will
start
a
series
of
pretty
serious
engagement,
some
smaller,
more
focused
conversations
within
the
business
sector
within
universities
within
NGOs,
with
the
philanthropic
community,
to
help,
educate
and
begin
this
dialogue
about
building
resilience,
and
then
it
will
be
a
refinement
process.
The
idea
of
seeing
where
these
co
benefits
exist,
where
the
opportunities
where
we
can
make
strategic
projects
that
have
overlapping
benefits,
how
we
start
to
bring
that
together.
C
So
the
final
thing
I'll
say
in
terms
of
the
next
step:
if
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
will
also
be
creating
a
landing
page,
so
you
can
go
to
the
innovation
and
performance
department's
website,
which
is
part
of
the
city's
website,
will
have
all
that
information
for
you
in
the
next
week
or
so
with
regards
to
a
landing
page.
That
will
give
you
a
video
content
and
different
briefing
materials
that
you
can
share
with
your
friends
neighbors
and
colleagues.
So
this
is,
as
we've
said,
multiple
times
a
day,
just
the
beginning
of
a
conversation.
C
Finally,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
want
to
let
a
special
thank
yous
to
our
organizing
team
from
Rand,
where's,
linnea
and
Tamara.
Hey
guys,
oh
yeah
stand
up
wave,
give
it
everybody
one
of
these,
so
so
it
you've
seen
Jordan
a
lot
today
and
you've
had
a
chance
to
see
lenee
and
Tamara
bit
absolutely
absolute
superstars.
So
the
ability
to
pull
an
event
like
this
together
I
may
be
a
unicorn,
but
I
can't
do
this.
C
You
know
the
ability
to
kind
of
create
the
network,
the
detailed
information,
excellent
job-
and
we
thank
you.
So
much
and
we're
very
grateful
for
you
also
Jordan
mentioned
the
note
takers
and
also
the
facilitators.
You
guys,
I
told
the
100
RC
team
that
you
are
rockstars
the
team
of
facilitators
that
we
pulled
together
here
today
bar
none
some
of
the
best
in
the
business.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
work
for
the
work
that
you've
done
and
then
two
more
I'd
like
to
also
think
our
hundred
RC
team
Michael
katia.
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
helping
us
begin
our
journey.
We
look
for
it
and
we'll
enjoy
the
ride
with
you
guys
without
a
doubt.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
then
one
fun.
One
final,
thank
you!
Thank
you.
Without
you
guys,
this
is
not
possible
without
the
work
that
you
do
each
and
every
day,
Pittsburgh
cannot
have
its
own
hashtag.
That
says
resilient
PGH.
You
make
Pittsburgh
the
resilient
City.
It
is
so
thank
you
so
much
we
will
all
be
in
touch.
