#THE ANTHROPOCENE METAMORPHOSIS We live in the age of deep metamorphosis: of paradigms, of horizons and of lifestyles. We have entered the Anthropocene – the era of massive human impacts on the planet, as defined by Eugene F. Stoermer in Eighties – and the actions of over seven billion residents threaten to destabilize Earth’s natural systems, with cascading consequences for human societies. The Age of Anthropocene calls us to a new challenge: on the one hand reduce the ecological footprint of human activities on the planet, and secondly spreading globally the collective intelligence that derives from the ideas and human wisdom about environment and climate change in the new “integral ecology” scenario, as Pope’s Encyclical affirms.

In their recent book Johan Rockström and Mattias Klum (2015) contend that we have unprecedented opportunities to navigate a “good Anthropocene”, by embracing a deep mind-shift, rediscovering common values, and taking on the essential role of planetary steward.

#THE RESILIENCE REVOLUTION In the Urban Age the world population is growing at a considerable rate. How long nature will be able to keep us with this is the main challenge for us.

Climate change, water scarcity and rising resource prices show at an increasing rate that nature’s abilities are not inexhaustible.

A resilience-oriented city, therefore, must have insight into its own metabolism.

When we look at, plan and manage cities as organism with their own metabolisms it becomes clear that they are not separate entities. Cities use nature as their supplier of fuel, food, resource materials and water, and nature also absorbs the waste generated by those cities. The urban population explosion has an ever-increasing influence on what nature is able to deliver.

In order to set up an effective and action-oriented resilient urban agenda, we have to redefine the way people lives, moves and works in the city and among cities.

#THE ECOSYSTEM TIPPING POINT

human settlements are evolutionary systems that changes towards dierent innovative states using their resilience

loss of resilience produces a reduction of evolution capability generating a new stable state less creative and innovative

#THE RESILIENCE DIVIDEND In a proactive vision, urban resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses and systems to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of structural crisis, chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience. Thus resilience is an enabling device for adaptive, circular and self-sufficient cities for winning the climate change challenge, and for achieving the Millennium Sustainable Goals.

Advanced ecological policies and plans are able to produce and distribute effectively a “resilience dividend�: a new capital in the economy of the transition toward a decarbonised development, an instrument of urban ecological equalization, and also a multiplier of investments for urban regeneration.

resilient metabolism, collaborative spaces, open environments and shared platforms increase profitability, creativity, empowerment and well being of people involved and of whole community.

the Resilient City is a new paradigm that positively destroys the conformism of decisions and the inertia of behaviors that slow down the innovation.
