From Sustainability to Resilience: A Change of Wording or a Change in Thinking?

Abstract

During the past ten years or so, any application for a research grant had to contain the word “sustainability”. Recently, however, sustainability has given way to “resilience”. Why this change? It could be a change in research fashion, or the recently produced atmosphere of threat, especially in relation to cities.
