Territorial intelligence of vulnerability systems

Vulnérabilité territoriale et résiliences: résistances et capacités adaptatives face aux aléas climatiques

Namely inherited by its double "reactive" and "proactive" dimensioning, the multisacalar status of the resilience concept is illustrated here by the storm Xynthia, which occured in France on February 2010. Through designing this disaster as a structural traduction of townplanning dysfunction, resilience appears to formalize a paradigmatic change of natural risk treatment, namely applied to urban development strategies.
