Ten cities will participate in the international summit on designing resilient cities. Chennai, Glasgow, Barcelona, Melbourne, Bristol, Manchester, Austin, New York, Rome and Rio de Janeiro will share their respective paths toward city resilience at the event that will be held in London on 16 & 17 June 2015.

These cities agreed to share the challenges they have faced, their specific objectives and the obstacles they've encountered in workshops that will fill the two days of this summit. Multidisciplinary groups of participants, with mayors and senior urban administration officials, will discuss the practical realities and critical issues they face. Through this process of sharing knowledge and experiences the workshops aim to create an international network and a dynamic for resilient cities. The summit will take place in the RIBA offices, as part of celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), and is supported by the UIA.
