GNAM Global Network Week University of British Columbia : Critical Infrastructure Interdependencies

Sauder School of Business; University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

As part of the GNAM Global Network Week: Urban Resilience and Inclusive Prosperity, the team of Edgardo Flores of Tecnologico Monterrey, Yogesh Garg of the Indian Institute of Management at Bangalore, and Jillian Howell of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies investigated critical infrastructure interdependencies at the University of British Columbia Vancouver. They sought to identify the components of UBC’s critical infrastructure system that should be prioritized moving forward to make UBC more resilient in the face of potential acute shocks and longer term impacts. Using benchmark cities as case studies to identify relevant responses to shocks, the team recommended prioritizing electricity and water systems, and also implementing a resilience fund to address standard maintenance and repairs of infrastructure as well as disaster mitigation/preparation and responses/rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of a shock event.
