Coles Beyond Resilience: Are the Cities Ready for Collapses? at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

The focus of this book has been concentrated on a criticism of the
current resilience strategies: how adapting an anachronistic model simply perpetuates its obsolescence, and despite generating temporary
improvements, it does not offer us in its reformist vision a real solution to
the problems that we will have to face.
The focus of this book has been concentrated on current resilience strategies,
a useful concept to understand and act in a complex, global world with signs
of imbalances in the urban models that came from the past, but that has
become a wildcard easy to use.
The increasing impossibility of encrypting the term resilience, of
approaching it from more reliable scientific principles, leads us to a
conceptual drift that this book echoes. Far from understanding and
preparing for a system change, resilient thinking is presented on many
occasions as a survival table that facilitates the permanence of the established
model, promoting small strategic modifications to a trust in a system that is
increasingly compromised.
