In an era rocked by environmental, economic, and political upheaval, our cities and communities must be resilient in order to survive. But what does resilience mean, exactly? And how can we address the problems facing America today?—?poverty, inequality, job loss, crumbling infrastructure, pollution?—?while preparing for an uncertain tomorrow?
