Building urban resilience requires input from all sectors of a city -- and the most innovative solutions often come from individuals or small organizations.

We call them Resilience Innovators: the individuals, informal networks, and small organizations around the globe that are coming up with innovative solutions to the most pressing urban challenges -- like tackling Cairo's 15,000-ton garbage problem and protecting the food supply for 22 million New Yorkers.
