| Summary: | Strategy has proven to be necessary in the development of the cities and new livable places. Mobility
systems that connect cities, and different points within a city are facing now unprecedented challenges. That is the research line of the work performed at the City Science group (CS) at the MIT Media Lab from the Massachusetts lnstitute ofTechnology. lt develops technology to study new urban architecture models and explore new mobility rnodes. And in this same path walks this research: this vision for the future ot cities. The final goal is to build cities for people, and not for cars or buildings.
Urban resilience has proven to be strongly related to a good urban development. Specifically, alter defining urban resilience. This study develops a reliable scale to measure urban resilience in comrnunities, cities, municipalities, counties, states, and countries. Based on 25 principies, divided in five categories of 5 indicators each, the scale rates from O to 10 each of those indicators, with the aim of finding and irnproving those that are the most needed. After developing this scale, which studies urban resilience for eac community governance, environrnental, econornic, infrastructural, and social aspects, the scale is validated and implemented. For that purpose, ope-source data is extracted from official sources. For this study, results are given for urban resilience in each of the 14 counties of Massachusetts. Finally, a simulation has been run using the Gama Platform, with a double aim: the calibration of the resilient indicators that have been previously developed; and the creation of a new CityScope module for the City Science group, in which this study will continue its developrnent as a future work.
