Urban resilience enhancer: Infrastructure improvement

The objective of this Enhancer is to help governmental actors or other partners to assess the resilience of their urban settlements but while putting a special focus on certain topics that need to be addressed, in this case Infrastructure. They can be used as a starting point to assess resilience and the matter related to urban settings, and to discuss how to take it further. 

The Resilience Enhancers developed under the City Resilience Profiling Tool isolate the crosscutting themes that underpin UN-Habitat's resilience building methodology into an advocacy and training tool.

The Enhancers provide both an understanding of the relationship between the topic in focus (i.e. Gender, Climate Action, Humanitarian Action, Human Rights) and development, development agendas, resilience and the CRPT. In the case of the latter, the indicators related to the topic have been extracted from the global CRPT and are included in the Enhancers. They can provide a first approach to the resilience related matter, taking into consideration the systemic, holistic and comprehensive understanding of urban resilience that moves away from assessment in silos.
