Infrastructure resilience is in a very enticing spot here in 2026.
It’s arguably never been more important to ensure that your community’s infrastructure remains resilient.
But the good news, meanwhile, is that you could make the case that it’s never been easier to make your infrastructure resilient.
Technology is developing at such a rapid pace, and those new developments have made resilience far more accessible and affordable than ever.
A new white paper – written by ASCE in partnership with Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment, and Sustainabilty, Bentley Systems, AECOM, and Microsoft – maps a path for smaller and mid-size municipalities to build more resilient infrastructure systems.
“Built to Endure: A Smart Guide for U.S. Cities to Build Resilient Infrastructure that Lasts” is available now as a free download.
And in episode 191 of ASCE Plot Points, two of the papers authors – Bentley’s Rory Linehan and Duke’s Elizabeth Losos – talk about the new technology making resilient infrastructure more accessible than ever and cite some of the paper’s case studies where these new ideas and innovations are already being put into practice.
