Abstract

What does it mean for a city to be resilient in today’s world? In July this year, over 100 city leaders, scholars, and industry partners gathered at City Dialogues in Vienna, co-convened by Singapore Management University and Urban Innovation Vienna, to reflect on the critical question of urban resilience. Held alongside the Mayors Forum of the World Cities Summit 2025, the dialogue provided a timely opportunity to share how cities can navigate complexity—not only in response to disruption, but also in pursuit of sustainable and inclusive futures. Inspired by SMU City Dialogues, I explore here how cities can bounce back, give back, and bring us back to health—through resilience, regeneration, and restoration. Article in German with English translation.
