Urban Resilience: Short Run Disasters and
Long-Term Effects
• A long literature documents that cities bounce back after physical shocks
(Davis and Weinstein on Japanese bombing in WWII).
• Still plenty of short run damage.
• The impact of disaster is always and everywhere mediated by the strength
of civil society at the moment that the disaster strikes (Kahn, 2005) true
for impact of plagues as well.
• Quality of government; education level.
• True for the plagues as well.
• Shocks to human capital (entrepreneurship) seem to have a larger long
term effect.
• Attracting and retaining smart people seems critical for long-term
resilience – but protecting cities from climate harm requires something
else.

The work of Engels and the work of Riis challenged the way citizens perceived the economic and material conditions around them. The lecture contextualizes the dramatic changes and challenges taking place in industrializing cities. These challenges included as overcrowding in subpar housing, the spread of disease because of poor sanitation, and inequalities faced my millions of wage laborers (often immigrants). You read how the middle class, urban reformers and social commentators responded to such circumstances. In your post, please respond to the following (the first two are for administrative purposes; the last two relate to this week’s course content): 1. I would like to know how you found out about this online class and why you chose to enroll in it. We have a full class, which is great, so we want to know exactly why we were successful in getting you all signed on! 2. Please tell me whether you are a Burbank campus student, or a San Diego campus student. 3. Describe the differences you see between Jane Addams’ approach to urban poverty and that of Friedrich Engels. What parallels to each approach do you see in our contemporary urban landscape (i.e. are there individuals, groups or political institutions that seem to align with one approach or the other as they focus to meet the needs of our cities today?) 4. Why do you think Jacob Riis’ work was so influential in stimulating legislation when dozens of other “urban investigative reporters” had been publishing reports and illustrations since the 1850s without the same level of public reaction? In your answer, select an image (post it in your response) from the online Riis photographic collection to help you make your point. Does this shed light on the way we currently understand problems within our cities?

P O P U L A T I O N A N D D E V E L O P M E N T R E V I E W 3 1 ( 4 ) : 6 0 5 – 6 4 3 ( D E C E M B E R 2 0 0 5 ) 605 The Next 50 Years: Unfolding Trends VACLAV SMIL FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES in human affairs come both as unpredictable discontinuities and as gradually unfolding trends. Discontinuities are more com- mon than is generally realized, and technical developments offer some of the best examples of these underappreciated shifts. Incremental engineering progress (improvements in efficiency and reliability, reduction of unit costs) and gradual diffusion of new techniques (usually following fairly predict- able logistic curves, no matter whether the innovations are mass-produced consumer items or advanced industrial processes) are very much in evidence, but they are punctuated by surprising, sometimes stunning, discontinuities. The modern history of flight is an apt illustration of these inherent unpredictabilities (Smil 2006). In 1955 it did not require extraordinary imagi- nation to see that intercontinental jet travel would become a large-scale en- terprise. But no one could have predicted (just a year after the third fatal crash of the pioneering British Comet and the consequent grounding of the first program of commercial jet flight) that by 1970 there would be a plane capable of carrying more than 400 people. The Boeing 747 was a result of Juan Trippe’s vision and William Allen’s daring, not an inevitable outcome of a technical trend. And more surprises followed, including a counterintui- tively massive increase in the total volume of commercial flying: between 1972 and 1981 two rounds of large oil price increases more than quintupled (in real terms) the price of crude oil (from which all of the aviation kerosene is refined), yet worldwide passenger traffic expanded relentlessly and its volume was 60 times higher by century’s end than it was in 1955 (ICAO 2001). Some political discontinuities of the past 50 years have been even more stunning. Nineteen fifty-five was just six years after the Communist victory in China’s protracted civil war, only two years after China’s troops made it impossible for the West to win the Korean War and forced a standoff along the 38th parallel, and three years before the beginning of the worst famine in history (Smil 1999). At that time, China, the legitimacy of its regime 606 T H E N E X T 5 0 Y E A R S : U N F O L D I N G T R E N D S unrecognized by the United States government, was an impoverished, sub- sistence agrarian economy, glad to receive a few crumbs of wasteful Stalinist industrial plant, and its per capita gross domestic product was less than 4 percent of the US average. Yet by 2005 China, still very much controlled by the Communist party, had become a new workshop for the world, an in- dispensable supplier of goods ranging from pliers to cell phones, and it is now underwriting America’s excessive spending through its record purchases of US Treasury bills. How could an.

On the back of COVID19 consumption habits have drastically changed thereby impacting even the best made business plans globally. Normal everyday activities that we took for granted like going to work, schools and entertainment venues have come to a standstill as these now posed a potential risk to life. Given the new realities, companies have seen consumption going down, individual savings going up and supply of goods and services become uncertain due to global supply chain issues, all of which have led to an increase in insecurity amongst the various stakeholders in the economy. According to Morgan Stanley, Global Recession in 2020 is a base case scenario. A recession is often defined as a period of decline in economic activity like trade, industrial output and consumer spending. As a recession is inevitable, we looked at the economic and financial downturns and recoveries in the past century to look for similarities with today’s COVID19 crisis. What we have done here: 1) Assessed this problem statement - COVID 19 has led us to a situation where we are in both a health as well as an economic crisis. Are there past recessions and crisis that we can look at to learn from? 2) Analyzed the two recessions that occurred in the 21st century by metrics like the economic and financial factors - how the GDP Growth and Unemployment were affected, how the financial markets reacted and how the sectoral recovery looked like? 3) Examined the Spanish Flu pandemic, the Roaring 20’s (a decade of massive expansion in the economy), and the Great Depression by metrics like the economic and financial factors

FDI and Superstar Spillovers: Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Transactions Mary AMITI (FED New York, United States) Despite competition concerns over the increasing dominance of global corporations, many argue that productivity spillovers from multinationals to domestic firms justify pro-FDI policies. For the first time, we use firm-to-firm transaction data in a developed country to examine the impact of forming a new relationship with a multinational, and find a TFP increase of about 8% three or more years after the event. Sales to other buyers, trade and customer quality also increase. However, we also document that starting to supply other “superstar firms” such as those who heavily export or are very large also increases performance by similar amounts, even if the superstar is a non-multinational. Placebos on starting relationships with smaller firms and novel identification strategies relying solely on demand shocks to superstar firms support a causal interpretation. In addition to productivity spillovers, we document the transmission of “relationship capabilities” and “dating agency” effects as the increase in new buyers is particularly strong within the superstar firm’s existing network. These results suggest an important role for raising productivity through the supply chains of superstar firms regardless of their multinational status. Find out more at https://oe.cd/spl-mtg

Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level Alessandro ALASIA, Dennis HUYNH (Statistics Canada) In Canada, there is limited analysis on industry locations at the neighbourhood level; location and co-location of industries have been assessed primarily at the regional scale which results in an information gap for businesses. Recent evidence suggests that businesses do not just choose a city for their location, they choose specific business districts within a metropolitan area. Recent improvements in the geolocation of business microdata allow to address the information gap. This work, undertaken as part of the Business Data Lab and in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, is a first attempt to map industry locations at the neighbourhood level in major metropolitan areas of Canada. Using establishment-level microdata from the Business Register, we apply spatial kernel density estimations to identify neighbourhoods with high employment/revenue density for selected industries (2-digit NAICS) and industry clusters (grouping of 6-digits NAICS). The geographic delineation of business districts within metropolitan areas is the first step in understanding the evolution of industry location and co-location over time, and assessing local business dynamics at the neighbourhood level. Ultimately, these business districts can be analyzed in combination with additional data sources (e.g., mobility and road traffic) to derive further economic insights.

Democratizing data through innovative data governance and visualizations Patrick GILL, Stephen TAPP (Chambers of Commerce, Canada) Small organizations in Canada struggle with accessing and leveraging data on business conditions and trends. These organizations have expressed difficulty in knowing what is available, accessing it and converting this information into actionable insights. To empower small organizations with more business-related information and insights, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has built a suite of free tools that merge and visualize traditional statistics with powerful high-frequency data sets (e.g. payments and mobility). This work is enabled by innovate data governance (e.g. a data trust) and a collaborative partnership with Statistics Canada. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is continuing work with Statistics Canada to release more local business information available through the agency’s Business Register (e.g. the mapping of local business districts), and is exploring how Generative AI can support small organizations’ navigation and understanding of the business information it has curated.

Involvement of rural regions in European research networks Rupert KAWKA, Torsten SCHUNDER (Federal Office for Building and regional Planning, Germany) This study investigates the distribution of the European Union's Horizon 2020 funding programme on rural and urban regions between 2014 and 2020 and the resulting urban-rural links. Leveraging the Horizon 2020-database covering the 2014-20 programming period, which encompasses data on approximately 35,000 funded projects involving nearly 180,000 partners, the paper explores the participation of rural firms and organisations in the broader European research framework. By integrating the urban-rural classification of NUTS 3 regions, the research addresses key questions concerning the involvement of rural regions in Horizon 2020 projects, the structural differences in projects with and without rural participation, and the dynamics of urban-rural collaboration in research. The study further aims to identify potential clusters of rural innovation hubs across Europe and assess spatial disparities. Find out more at https://oe.cd/spl-mtg

Forcibly displaced people fleeing violent conflict and other forms of persecution find support from the social and solidarity economy (SSE) along their pathways, from their country of origin to asylum protection. The numbers are growing and new OECD work sheds light on how the specific values and characteristics of SSE entities provide high-quality responses to refugee needs and facilitate integration in host communities. The SSE can support access to rights, empowerment, social and labour market inclusion of refugees. Join this webinar with the UNHCR, SINGA and NESsT Poland to discover how the SSE plays a role in the steps along the way of refugee’s journey.
