Resilience and Scales: how to embrace the metropolitan dimension of urban resilience implementation?

Resilience is the new framing principle for cities tacking the development challenges on this century, facing population growth, climate change and environmental degradation. Many cities around the world are implementing through plans, projects or setting new units specialized on resilience in their municipalities for operationalizing the guidelines promoted by the most important global frameworks as the Sendai Framework or the UN New 2030 urban Agenda for Sustainable Development.
However, the challenge of tacking resilience through its effective implementation goes far beyond administrative boundaries of cities, highlighting the fallacies of some initiative while emphasizing the need of better re-framing how resilience is to be shaped through across scales collaborative institutional agreements.
METROPOLIS already explored the challenges of addressing the metropolitan scale of resilience during an international workshop held in Barcelona in November 2017.

This panel aims at further discuss the most relevant questions emerged through the workshop, as for instance:
- How the concept of resilience could help framing across scales agreement, minimizing the spatial trade-offs (one part of the city/region benefitting from another increased exposure to threats)?
- Which could be the funding mechanisms to ensure across sectors and boundaries collaborations?
- How public-private or public-public co-management agreements could foster inter-municipality cooperation in building resilience?
- How resilience could be adopted through strategic planning at the metropolitan levels? Is planning a proper tool for framing the enabling conditions for building resilience at the metropolitan level?
