Resurbe activities
About Resurbe
RESURBE program is an interdisciplinary, multi-sectorial and international open platform, in collaboration with over 60 organizations worldwide, including UN-HABITAT City Resilience Profiling Program (CRPP) and Recyclying the City Network (RECNET).
RESURBE Program aims to facilitate knowledge co-creation and exchange between local and regional governments, universities and research centres, international organizations, grassroots movements and other stakeholders from private and public sectors.
RESURBE program focuses on promoting research, capacity building and urban development projects worldwide, as well as to support informed policy making, on urban resilience and climate change adaptation/mitigation.
In summary, RESURBE efforts are directed to promote the systemic transition for cities based on co-evolution and social innovation, through just and inclusive participatory processes. In that sense, RESURBE adopts a participatory community development approach, by favouring innovation of socio-ecological systems in order to reduce the vulnerability of local communities and to improve human wellbeing.
