The Economist's Resilient Cities Index

What innovative strategies can be followed to build resilient cities and ensure a sustainable future for all?

Economist Impact, the think tank of The Economist Group, has developed a Resilient Cities Index featuring 25 cities worldwide. The index evaluates and measures four fundamental pillars: critical infrastructure, environment, socio-institutional status, and economic status.

Economist Impact defines urban resilience as “the capacity of a city to avoid, withstand, and recover from crises and long-term stresses. A resilient city should be able to self-organize after a disruption, adapt to risks, and plan ahead rather than react.”

Among the 25 cities analyzed, the five most resilient cities are:

1. New York

2. Los Angeles

3. London

4. Singapore

5. Paris

Barcelona ranks ninth, behind Tokyo and ahead of Munich.

The Plotline: visual data on food and climate change

The Plotline is an exploratory and interactive project driven by data scientists, designers, and creative technologists that uses data science and technology to help create "a more sustainable and resilient food system."

The creators of The Plotline explain, "We envision a more sustainable and equitable food system, based on data and designed to withstand climate change."

To achieve this, they provide the entire scientific community related to food and climate with a vast amount of information and spectacular interactive visualizations, aiming to create the necessary tools and resources to meet these goals.

This year, The Plotline received a nomination at the Webby Awards in the Best Data Visualization category.
