Urban Resiliency: Local Strategies

I'm unaware of such strategies. I've checked the internet related to such strategies for my city and have found little, but a continued fixation on trying to attract businesses to our region. This has been the be all/end all of the efforts as far as I know. When I was involved, years ago, with trying to revitalize our downtown by building community and beauty--and thus luring people to come back into the inner city to establish residences, I was frustrated to say the least. I am reminded of the expression about "knowing the costs of everything and the value of nothing." The business community, which does indeed, own everything had no real interest in creating different visions for our city. Why should they? All efforts to transform the region are always predicated on satisfying business--at the expense of the residents I might add--as more and more financial incentives are given--but with no real return of value.
