The Louisville Resilience process involved two years of community engagement with stakeholders through interviews, workshops, surveys, focus groups, meetings, and social media communication. We intentionally sought out to connect with the diverse voices, skills, and expertise of our city’s residents, leaders, advocates, students, neighborhoods, businesses, non-profits, and faith-based organizations with the understanding that the pursuit of resilience requires a community effort.

Resilient Minneapolis 1.0 is the outcome of a process that engaged citizens and public officials to identify the city’s challenges and priorities, then articulated the areas where clear resilience principles and practices would have the greatest impact throughout the various scales.
