A System to Measure Resilience
RELi is a comprehensive response to the urgent need for resiliency in Design + Planning. Sustaining a reasonable level of safety and quality in our day to day lives now requires that we collectively respond to the weather extremes, economic disruption + resource depletion that are becoming common place globally, regionally, and locally. Resiliency involves interactive social, economic, and environmental elements that respond to both acute short-term and systematic long-term topics related to the well-being of our society and planet. The RELi Action List + Credit Catalog includes a series of interactive + actionable measures for both the acute and systematic attributes of resiliency.
