What you can do
Resilience is in Rotterdam’s DNA. As a port city by the River Meuse, Rotterdam has learned to deal with all of the opportunities and threats that water brings. To ensure that we will maintain our ability to anticipate and respond to new developments and challenges in the future, Rotterdam is committed to embedding resilience in the city.
We still have a long road ahead of us, for which the input and support of the people of Rotterdam are indispensable. Together with the people, businesses, research and educational institutes, and government institutions of Rotterdam, we can create a movement that will firmly embed the resilience perspective in our minds and actions. Together, we will fight for a resilient city of Rotterdam.
