Louisville Resilience Strategy Release
Overview
Louisville and 100 Resilient Cities - pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation (100 RC) introduced Resilient Louisville as a new approach to address our city’s most pressing and interconnected challenges. Funded by a grant from 100 Resilient Cities (100RC), the Louisville Resilience Strategy is the product of a two+ year process during which our city developed a better understanding of the challenges it faces; reviewed its ability to address those challenges; and united people, projects, and priorities so that we can collectively act on our resilience challenges.
