Urban Resilience, what do we mean by that?
the
ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad
happens
the ability of something to return to its
original shape after it has been pulled, stretched, pressed, bent, etc.
"act of rebounding," from Latin resiliens, present participle of resilire "to rebound, recoil," from re- "back"
(see re-) + salire "to jump, leap"
What do we mean by this when we apply it to a
city?
- · Resilience against climate change
- · Climate adaptation
- · Social resilience

How can resilience be applied to transportation?

“All those legacy cities... have more jobs
than residents;... it's not even a skills mis-match. It's a matter of
connectivity.”

Art in Transit: Red Line
The Maryland Transit Administration aims to
enhance the stations and the environment along the corridor, making the
Baltimore Red Line welcoming to riders and reflective of communities' unique
characteristics and histories. Communities' input will be an important
component of the artwork created for specific station and location with the
corridor.
Phase I of the Program launched in November
2012 and resulted in the creation of a master plan of art opportunities at the
stations and structural elements such as the Red Line bridges and portals.
Phase 2
of the Art in Transit Program began in June 2014 and will focus on identifying
the art for the stations and structural elements. Community comments will be
collected in a series of three meetings, including a meeting with the artists,
and used in conjunction with other criteria to select artists and final works.
Learn more about the mission and goals for the Art in Transit Program and the
opportunities for art at the station in your community in the Art in Transit Meeting 1 presentation.
