For whom is interested in urban resilience and sustainability, sorry for cross posting Best regards Lorenzo The Urban Resilience Research Network <http://www.urbanresilienceresearch.net/> has just published after the summer break a new essay in its Viewpoints section. Prof. Stefan Bouzarovski (University of Manchester), argues through his essay titled '*Rethinking Everyday Resilience in the Built Environment of the City*' that resilience can be connected to the notion of ‘retrofit’ by exploring the role of bottom-up and do-it-yourself forms of urbanism, and their contribution to city resilience and sustainability. He finally calls for "*a deeper understanding of the diverse mechanisms through which residential buildings and people may embody complex processes of adaptation* ” Stay tuned and follow our research activities, resources and critical points of view on urban resilience also through Twitter <https://twitter.com/ResilienzResear> and FB <https://www.facebook.com/urbanresilienceresearch/>.
