Explained in plain English
What is 'urban resilience'?
'Urban resilience' refers to a city's ability to bounce back from disruptions, whether natural disasters or, as in Taiwan's case, military attacks. The internet disruption drill is a perfect example, testing how well essential services and daily life can continue with limited connectivity. It's about ensuring society remains stable and functional even under extreme pressure.
