Abstract
The urban environment is becoming more and more complex,
not least with regard to security aspects following a
decade of continuous threats to cities and their
supporting infrastructures. A comprehensive and holistic
(systematic) approach to improve the resilience of large
scale development against attacks and disruptions has not
been developed thoroughly. This paper draws from an EU
Seventh Framework Programme project entitled HARMONISE -
A Holistic Approach to Resilience and Systematic Actions
to Make Large Scale Built Infrastructure Secure - which
develops a comprehensive, multi-faceted concept for the
enhanced security and resilience of urban
infrastructure.This paper builds from the specific themes
set out in the 2012 Future Security paper "Security for
Critical Infrastructure and Urban Areas: A Holistic
Approach to Urban Safety, Security and Resilience",
presenting early results of attempts to operationalise
holistic security and resilience concepts in urban praxis
and demonstrating the need for more integrated resilience
governance.
