This research report from Grosvenor looks into the resilience of some of the world's largest and most populus cities. It defines resilience as 'the ability of a city to avoid or bounce back from an adverse event', studying this concept from both a business and a human context covering 5 dimensions of vulnerability: climate, environment, resource, infrastructure and community.
