The Role of Design in Building Resilient and Sustainable Communities
In an era of rapid climate change, resource depletion, and growing social inequalities, building resilient and sustainable communities has become an imperative. Resilience refers to the ability of a community to withstand and recover from adverse events, while sustainability ensures that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Design plays a crucial role in achieving both resilience and sustainability, as it shapes the physical, social, and economic fabric of our communities.
