Building on a legacy - Resilient Cities Catalyst is an independent nonprofit organization formed by members of the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) leadership team, created to empower change in the way cities plan and act.
Urban Practitioners
We are urban practitioners with deep experience in municipal government service design and delivery; public and private funding and financing; and philanthropic partnership development. Our professional experiences range from economic development to affordable housing to climate change adaptation to urban mobility and beyond. We know the way cities budget, the way cities plan and procure, and how cities operate
Resilience Experts
We are resilience experts who are pioneers in the urban resilience movement. We have collectively partnered with more than 100 cities around the world to catalyze and support their resilience-building journeys to deliver impact for their communities. We have delivered 20,000+ hours of resilience capacity-building to cities using bespoke tools and curricula.
Strategic Conveners
We are strategic conveners who understand the importance of bringing together uncommon partners and practitioners. We have built action-oriented communities of practice and networks of diverse actors centered on complex resilience challenges such as urban migration, natural infrastructure, and seismic resilience.
Between 2013 and 2019, the 100RC community of practitioners achieved groundbreaking impact which we hope to build upon and amplify.
