Description

An elaborate resilience framework that functions through a layered multi-criteria assessment methodology. The framework works by asking a series of rank based questions pertaining to decision-support systems currently operating within a city. Those decision-support systems then compared to other systems from case studies and published research, culminating in a number of economic, environmental, and infrastructure thresholds & resilience scores.
