“…Important work has nonetheless been undertaken to explore the potential for ecological resilience theory to inform cities and urban development at a policy and planning level (Ahern, 2011;Meerow, 2016;Pickett, Mcgrath, Cadenasso, & Felson, 2014;Wilkinson, 2012;Wu & Wu, 2013). Infrastructure designers, constructors and managers have made strong advances in hard engineering responses to climate risk, however, these tend to focus on stability and permanence, as opposed to ongoing adaptive capacity and flexibility (Allenby & Fink, 2005;Fei, 2012;Sage, Sircar, Dainty, Fussey, & Goodier, 2015). More recently, numerous authors have highlighted the opportunity to move towards an "evolutionary" or "sustained adaptation" interpretation of resilience in engineering, though largely at a theoretical level (Woods, 2015).…”
