Understanding Infrastructure Interdependencies in Cities by C40 Cities and AXA delves into the complex relationships between urban systems — from energy and water networks to transportation, waste, and communications. The report highlights how the increasing interconnection of infrastructure brings both opportunities and vulnerabilities for cities facing climate change, population growth, and resource pressures. By analyzing real-world disruptions and case studies, it shows how cascading failures can arise when one system falters, emphasizing the need for integrated resilience planning that accounts for these interdependencies across sectors.
The publication provides a framework for city leaders, planners, and resilience officers to identify weak points, strengthen cross-sector coordination, and build adaptive capacity. It also offers strategies for data sharing, governance alignment, and risk assessment to ensure cities can respond effectively to shocks and stresses. Ultimately, Understanding Infrastructure Interdependencies in Cities demonstrates that resilience is not built in silos — it’s a collective effort across systems, organizations, and communities to safeguard urban life.
