Infrastructure &
Resilience Dividend
This project demonstrates the “Resilience Dividend” by analysing infrastructure in disaster-affected urban areas. It highlights the added value of resilience to support increased investment.

To demonstrate the existence of the ‘Resilience Dividend’ stemming from existing (or formerly existing) infrastructure projects in selected urban areas.
In this project, GIB, in partnership with the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam and Sebastian von Dahlen (UNISDR), collected data for a retrospective analysis to prove the existence of the ‘Resilience Dividend’ of existing (or formerly existing) infrastructure projects in selected urban areas.
The resilience behavior of infrastructure projects which are most severely affected by natural disasters, including human-induced climate shocks was methodically assessed by applying selected criteria of SuRe®. By retrospectively assessing and comparing the contribution levels of real infrastructure projects to the Resilience Dividend in disaster-struck urban spaces, the project worked to gain insights into how to build back better in the future. The work done contributed to prove the existence of the resilience dividend which can be thought of as the augmented economic, social and ecological added value of projects which plays a major role in demonstrating to financial players the risk-return attractiveness of such projects, thereby stimulating capital flows.
