Description
As part of the 100 Resilient Cities program dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social, and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century, this 2016 report, Resilient Oakland, outlines concrete actions for the city to address current and future shocks and stresses, ranging from economic inequality to insufficient affordable housing to sea level rise to earthquakes. The Resilient Oakland playbook is a holistic set of strategies and actions to tackle systemic, interdependent challenges. This includes equitable access to quality education and jobs, housing security, community safety and vibrant infrastructure, which will better prepare us for shocks like earthquakes and climate change impacts. The plan includes an overview of Oakland's social and physical history as it relates to resilience, and reviews a multitude of stressors including sea level rise, earthquakes and liquefaction, coastal and urban floods, drought, wildfire, chronic homelessness, socioeconomic disparities, high crime rate, disparities in access to health care, education jobs, and wealth, insufficient affordable housing, aging infrastructure, and limited city resources.
