Abstract

The ability to integrate knowledge that is distributed across a broad range of research disciplines and professions is crucial to responding effectively to the grand challenges pressing our societies. Urban resilience being one of these challenges requires coordinated responses to the shocks and stresses that threaten our highly interconnected social, technical and environmental systems in cities and regions. Using the Weblinx strategy-making frame game, a group of resilience engineering assistant professors and other academics prioritized key topics of urban resilience originating from their various domains of expertise. The adaptable frame game methodology also proved to be effective in an online setting when used by civil servants working in diverse professions to prioritize shocks and stresses threatening their municipalities. From this cross-sectoral perspective, we explore the use of the frame game methodology to facilitate strategy making and we discuss the role that frame games can play in supporting other aspects of the participatory modelling process.

A cross-sectoral look at the use of a frame game to set strategic agendas for urban resilience

The ability to integrate knowledge that is distributed across a broad range of research disciplines and professions is crucial to responding effectively to the grand challenges pressing our societies.
