The MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub) recently held a public webinar titled Resilience for Sustainability that attracted more than 100 decision-makers and influencers on the subject. MIT CSHub Faculty Director Franz-Josef Ulm shared recent developments in quantifying the resilience of buildings with respect to a number of extreme events, including hurricanes, precipitation flooding and wildfires. Key findings of largescale simulations combined with economic and social census data and modeling were shared, which all show that resilience is not a commodity but an integral condition for the sustainable development of our societies.
