In this lecture, José and Carissa introduce socio-technical resilience, conceptualising urban resilience from a critical perspective. There are many conceptions of resilience, but the speakers draw on the concept as used in ecology, as resilience is a characteristic of complex systems. Resilience has become a very influential concept in urban adaptation to climate change, but there are problems with the concept, especially in relation to alignment to sustainability and justice (distributive, procedural and intergenerational).
