Improved decision-making for infrastructure resilience

London’s infrastructure networks are increasingly complex and interlinked. These systems rely on digital, electrical and physical connections to function properly. A disruption to one network can produce far-reaching and unanticipated domino effects.

Protecting the infrastructure that keeps London moving means understanding how it links together and how its failure could affect Londoners. Improved knowledge of the condition and performance of infrastructure assets may also help us to predict and prevent failures. Collectively, this information can help to prioritise investment towards the interventions that will have the most significant impact on building the resilience of London’s infrastructure.

‘Improved decision-making for infrastructure resilience in London’ is a project that sought to explore these factors and to prioritise actions that City Hall could take to strengthen the resilience of the city’s infrastructure, building on commitments made in the Mayor’s London City Resilience Strategy.
