Chennai City Resilience Strategy

No single image or story captures the city of Chennai. Experiences overlap, refract and reflect to form an ever-changing collage of the city’s struggles and triumphs. Classical and contemporary, rich and poor, acceptance and aggression, discipline and disregard, floods and drought, concrete and greenery, all come together to give you a city with a history and a future. This, then, is the path to building resilience in our city. As we move into the future, we need a city strategy that considers and respects these many truths, embracing diverse conditions and needs. A strategy that makes our city enlightened and integrated.Resilient Chennai is the Chennai city chapter of 100 Resilient Cities (100RC), a program pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation. 100RC is an organization that helps cities around the world become more

resilient to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century. Chennai’s Resilience Strategy 2019 was prepared by a team headed by the city’s Chief Resilience Officer, Mr. Krishna Mohan Ramachandran. He will highlight the shocks and stresses facing the

city, preparedness of the city and the lack of it, and future course of action.
