100 Resilient Cities 420 Fifth Ave, 19th Floor New York, NY 10018

Organisational structure 100 Resilient Cities—Pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation is financially supported by The Rockefeller Foundation and managed as a sponsored project by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA), an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides governance and operational infrastructure to its sponsored projects.

In April 2019 the news broke that 100 Resilient Cities was to no longer receive funding from the Rockefeller Foundation six years after its launch. The announcement came as a major shock to its almost 100 staff and those familiar with its work, as the organisation had by all measures been successful in its primary aim—helping cities build workable resiliency strategies.

Budget issues and a change in leadership at the foundation in 2017 were the most likely reasons for 100RC’s sudden exit, but a glimmer of hope emerged when the foundation agreed to continue funding some of its initiatives, like the chief resilience officer (CRO) roles it had helped create in cities.

Six months on we are beginning to see what the transition looks like with the creation of two new organisations, Resilient Cities Catalyst (RCC), which was unveiled last week, and the Global Resilient Cities Network (GRCN), which will be officially launched at the World Urban Forum next week.

Description

Description 100 Resilient Cities—Pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation (100RC) is 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.

100RC supports the adoption and incorporation of a view of resilience that includes not just the shocks—earthquakes, fires, floods, etc.—but also the stresses that weaken the fabric of a city on a day to day or cyclical basis. Examples of these stresses include high unemployment; an overtaxed or inefficient public transportation system; endemic violence; or chronic food and water shortages. By addressing both the shocks and the stresses, a city becomes more able to respond to adverse events, and is overall better able to deliver basic functions in both good times and bad, to all populations.

Objectives 100RC aims not only to help individual cities become more resilient, but will facilitate the building of a global practice of resilience among governments, NGOs, the private sector, and individual citizens.
Activities Cities in the 100RC network are provided with the resources necessary to develop a roadmap to resilience along four main pathways:

Financial and logistical guidance for establishing an innovative new position in city government, a Chief Resilience Officer, who will lead the city’s resilience efforts; Expert support for development of a robust resilience strategy; Access to solutions, service providers, and partners from the private, public and NGO sectors who can help them develop and implement their resilience strategies; and Membership of a global network of member cities who can learn from and help each other.
