Smart Cities = Sustainable and Resilient Cities

The Foundation requires resiliency to two major
urban challenges:
Those that are chronic
But also shocks
bristol.ac.uk/cabot
Uncertainty in warming propagates into
many other factors
Does not consider significant melting of Antarctic or Greenland Ice Sheets
bristol.ac.uk/cabot
And this deep complexity and associated uncertainty is true for
many, many systems
bristol.ac.uk/cabot
New forms of Systems Resilience that encompass this profound
uncertainty and complexity

Floods
We develop dynamic flood models at building-resolving scales with grids of up to 100M cells and use these to predict inundation patterns
Example: 4 hour rainfall event (based on October 2011 storm) for Dublin, Ireland, modelled at 5 m resolution over a LIDAR grid

Floods
OLD SCHOOL: Model the city at high resolution and see where the weaknesses and break points are
NEW SCHOOL: • High Resolution• Can interact with real time
sensor data• Can presumably feed data into
the City Operating System• Allows us to build fluid resilience
right into our system
