Urban resilience and accessibility are increasingly interconnected in creating cities where people thrive. Thoughtful urban design can produce spaces that are both adaptable to change and welcoming to all, where aesthetics and functionality come together to enhance community wellbeing. This session will explore how the design and visual quality of urban spaces influence resilience, inclusivity, accessibility, and the overall quality of everyday life.
