Cidade resiliente: qual o caminho a ser trilhado?

Abstract

Nowadays, much emphasis is placed on the importance of building resilient cities, which, according to the United Nations Organization - UN (2018), are those that have systems capable of recovering quickly in certain situations of risks and disasters, providing the necessary supplies and resources to the affected population and also promoting the restructuring of the locality safely, performing the correct implementation of risk management. In this sense, it is essential that public managers plan for the adequate control of risks that can occur in urban centers, so that they can be eliminated quickly and efficiently. The study aims to emphasize the need for cities to acquire and possess resilience to disasters, describing the most important steps to be implemented by governments, which have already been validated by some localities, which are based on the UN's Ten Principles of Resilience, ending with some examples of resilient cities worldwide, to consolidate the importance of sustainable development and quality of life for individuals worldwide. The research has a basic typology, exploratory and qualitative, followed by Literature Review, which is basically the process of searching for and analyzing a certain theme, thus using it to identify the most appropriate way to build resilience. Several Brazilian and world literature, scientific articles, Brazilian and world agencies were used to map the necessary steps for building resilience through the Bizagi Modeler Software. Considering the huge increase in global population, major occurrences of disasters, climate change, incidence of risks, pandemics and epidemics, it is essential that urban centers have planning and financial resources directed to resilience, so that they can respond to crises, respond to shocks and stresses, and have the ability to recover in due time. Given the study carried out, it was identified as the most pertinent for building resilience the adherence to the UN's Ten Principles for Building Resilience, with the execution of the important steps in each principle, which can thus be used by governments to solidify development with sustainability and to achieve resilience. It was also concluded the need for adherence to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, with emphasis on goal 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, thus effectively contributing to the achievement of resilience. The importance of sustainable urbanization for building resilience was also pondered.
