Abstract

Resilience against a variety of common and disruptive threats of terrorism is increasingly valuable in terms of the way communities are designed, operated and how urban practitioners are working to improve the community safety level. This is especially true of communities and cities, activities that are considered susceptible to terrorist attacks. This work explores a robust approach to create a safe climate, safety societies in ways that can decrease the likelihood and effect of a terrorist attack. In specific, the research problem was: The inability of our cities to face the Unpredictable challenges (terrorism attacks) with a resilient flexible strategies that’s contributed in reduces the urban safety. The research assumes: adoption of resilience strategy will contribute to increase the city safety against the Unpredictable challenges (terrorism attacks). The research aimed to: reach more resilient safety cities that can confront the Unpredictable challenges (terrorism attacks) through its community and built environment. The research methodology was: Explain the concepts of resilience, resilient cities and its characteristics and approaches, then adopt an integration approach to drop it on the characteristics of safety city as access to the indicators of resilient safety anti- terrorism city with Canada's experience anti-terrorism attacks as case study. The important conclusions were: There is necessity for professionals with a culture of terrorism to set up alerts and alarm the people before the risk entering. Resilience proxies depend on urban system type and its components that’s differs from place to another, one of the robust resilient city approaches was: integrated-forward looking approach it is not only react to emergent threats, however may draw trends to survive , take off the city systems.

Highlights

  • Our cities face diverse challenges and threats on all systems of life at many levels

  • This includes Strategic plans, material and strategic measures in order to create a safer, resilience environment before threats or to response to terrorist threats.in this research: anti-terrorism concept which is more focuses on urban system is carrying the concept of safety resilient city

  • In this initial phase of our research, we propose the division of the urban system have five basic components, which significantly effect on the resilience of the system

Summary

Introduction

Our cities face diverse challenges and threats on all systems of life at many levels. One of these threats is terrorism attacks .Responds of the city and its society to the terrorism or threat of terrorism is fall under the term of “anti-terrorism”. Anti-terrorism defines: Defensive concept used to reduce the vulnerability of individuals and communities to terrorist acts. This includes Strategic plans, material and strategic measures in order to create a safer, resilience environment before threats or to response to terrorist threats.in this research: anti-terrorism concept which is more focuses on urban system is carrying the concept of safety resilient city
