On 31 January 2023, the international community of practice Connective Cities invites you to become part of the Working Group on Municipal Resilience in Times of War. The kick-off event will take place from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. CET and will be dedicated to the topic of “Strengthening Resilience and Capacity to Rebuild Cities and Critical Municipal Infrastructure in Times of War”.

Against the backdrop of Russia's ongoing war of aggression on Ukraine and the destruction of critical infrastructure, the goal of the working group is to develop measures and strategies to provide critical services for citizens and rebuild municipalities after the war.

The kick-off event will give municipal representatives the opportunity to exchange good practices, identify potential challenges and find joint approaches to solutions.

Thematic focal points are:

• Energy supply and rehabilitation of energy infrastructure
• Use of water resources
• The functioning of public transport
• Integration of internally displaced persons
• Resilience and crisis management
• Other topics as needed
