THE CITY IN ITS STRUGGLE AGAINST URBAN SHOCKS OR THE ROAD TOWARDS THE RESILIENT CITY

Journal Title: Revista Romana de Geografie Politica - Year 2019, Vol 21, Issue 1

Abstract

The challenges Europe faces nowadays greatly affect cities as well. Globalization, climate changes, migration, demographic decline and energetic security are true shocks for urban centers. These shocks offer cities some of the most significant reasons to improve resistance and readily implement urban resilience policies. The implementation of said policies is necessary also due to the fact that cities nowadays are often blamed for the high level of greenhouse gas emissions that are a shock for the environment and for the inhabitants, who are forced to face them every day.
