S’pore chosen to join network of resilient cities
SINGAPORE — In tackling climate change, ageing and other challenges, Singapore can now tap the experiences of cities as diverse as Amman in Jordan and Santiago in Chile.
The three cities were among the second wave of 35 cities to join The Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities network, a US$100 million (S$130 million) commitment by the American philanthropic organisation to help cities around the world build resilience to economic, social and physical challenges.
Besides Singapore, six of these cities are in Asia: Bangalore and Chennai in India, Deyang and Huangshi in China, Phnom Penh in Cambodia and Toyama in Japan. Others include the major cities of London, Barcelona, Paris, Chicago and Sydney.
Some may question whether certain chosen cities need help, but 100 Resilient Cities’ president Michael Berkowitz said a mix of cities with various capacities would enable the sharing of experiences and expertise.
