Document summary

Lloyd’s worked with Arup to develop a new set of principles to guide the planning, design, construction and operation of some of the key components of city infrastructure to improve resilience. This study analyses four different critical infrastructure systems - energy, water supply, Information Communications Technology (ICT) and transport - through three case studies. These demonstrate how infrastructure has been impacted by catastrophic events in the past, how stakeholders responded at the time, and indicates what actions they could take in the future to effectively address risk and enhance resilience.
