Modern urban infrastructure is highly interdependent, formed of multiple connections, feedback loops and ‘feedforward’ paths. This means that if one system fails, it can have cascading impacts on other systems and a ripple effect of disruptions. Understanding local infrastructure interdependencies and critical failure points is therefore vital for cities to achieve long-term climate resilience.
