Resilience Playbook

Archives: Goals

Encourage high-density development in infill locations to prevent increased sprawl and WUI development.

Prepare current and future communities for climate impacts.

Manage the threat of climate risks on existing and future infrastructure and require nature-based solutions for climate resilience.

Increase density within existing communities in non-high fire severity zones.

Ensure fair and inclusive zoning policies that make housing accessible to everyone.

Pursue new funding mechanisms to support urban greening projects at the local and regional level.

Focus urban greening projects in areas lacking tree canopy and other urban greenery to provide health and safety benefits to residents, with a focus on vulnerable communities.

Integrate urban greening into planned and future city infrastructure projects, including road improvements, parks, and private development.

Implement regenerative land management practices at the city scale. Practice drawdown, reduce emissions, and improve watershed and human health.

Advance jurisdiction-wide collaboration to continually refine nature-based climate solutions that sequester carbon, restore ecosystems, mitigate flooding, and conserve biodiversity.
