We’ve seen how natural and manmade events can impose devastating costs upon our projects, infrastructure, and society. Whether it’s pandemics, climate change or other challenges facing communities, the costs of these events can be staggering. More than ever, it’s vital that project teams make resiliency an integral part of their design and build approach. But how?

In this episode of DBIA’s Design-Build Delivers podcast, we talk to three experts on a wide range of resiliency topics, including defining resilience, building social resilience, the critical role design-build collaboration plays in successful resilience programs, using technology to advance resilience, and so much more.
