Join us on Wednesday 23rd April at 10:00 BST for the latest session in the ISRM Global Urban Resilience Programme, where we’ll be discussing one of the most pressing challenges facing our cities: infrastructure security.
This month’s session features a live case study on the Heathrow Airport power outage (March 2025) and what it reveals about the fragility – and necessity – of robust critical infrastructure systems.
Speakers:
- Lord Toby Harris – Chair, UK National Preparedness Commission
- Dr. Ebru A. Gencer – Adjunct Associate Professor of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, Columbia University / Founding Director, Center for Urban Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience (CUDRR+R)
- Dr David Rubens – Executive Director, ISRM
This one’s for policymakers, practitioners, planners – and anyone serious about making our cities safer, stronger and better prepared.
