These are the resilience strategies I uncovered to my neighbours:
- Planning: Enable the development of vibrant mixed-use communities and higher-density regional centers, that create a sense of place, allow for transportation choices ( other than private automobiles ) and protect regional agricultural, watershed, and wildlife habitats lands.
- Mobility: Invest in high-quality pedestrians, bicycle, and public transit infrastructure with easy access, shared connectivity and rich information sources, from signage to cell phone alerts.
- Built Environment: Design new buildings and associated land scaping - and retrofit existing buildings - for state-of-the-art energy ( smart grid applications ) , and resource efficiency, integrated with mobility options.
- Economy: Support businesses in order to provide quality local jobs and meet the needs of the new economy with renewable energy and other "green" technologies and services.Support local and regional economic decision-makers in adapting to the new world of rising prices, volitile energy supplies and national demographic shifts.
- Food: Develop regional organic food production, processing, and metro-area distribution networks.
- Resources: Drastically cut use of water, waste and materials, re-using them whenever possible.
- Management: Engage government, businesses and citizens together in resilience planning and implementation; track and communicate the successes , failures, and opportunities of these communities-wide effort.
I also intend to paste some flyers on resilience strategies in strategic positions within my community where the public could read them. The few neighbours, I shared these strategies with them, said they were good strategies which if applied correctly would make about 70% of Cameroon urban by 2035.
