Resilience

Applegath is the founder and moderator of ResilientCity.org, a not-for-profit network devoted to exploring planning and building design strategies to help cities develop the capacities to adapt to the impacts of climate change and energy scarcity in the context of demographic change.

ResilientCity.org employs the following working definition of resilient cities:

“A resilient city is a city that has developed the systems and capacities to be able to absorb future shocks and stresses over time so as to still maintain essentially the same function, structure, systems, and identity, while at the same time working to mitigate the present causes of future shocks and stresses.”[5]

This definition stems from the pioneering work on resilience of C.S. Holling. Ecological resilience is the capacity of a natural system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedbacks.[6]

Applegath is also co-author of "Resilient Edmonton: Why and How?",[7] a white paper commissioned by the City of Edmonton that was used in the city's public consultation process in support of developing its new environmental strategic plan, The Way We Green.[8]
