This paper analyzes the role of microgrids in urban development and examines how greater systemic thinking between infrastructure planning and energy policymaking can increase a city's resilience.
The disaster, which killed more than 200,000 people and displaced at least 1 million others, turned the world's attention to the country's systemic poverty, fragile infrastructure, and tenuous hold on peace.
Overall, doctors at KUHP appeared to encounter greater difficulties than doctors at SNUH, as over 70% of doctors at KUHP felt that they have limited resources including personnel (clinical research coordinators/research nurses, data manager and statistician), time, infrastructure, systemic support, and funding.
Providing a broader image of hazard patterns and connections between the infrastructure system and its environments, the systemic, observation-based approach presented here complements experimental and material studies of climate change impacts on infrastructure systems.
The framework differentiates between three systemic constituents: the critical infrastructure, its natural environment, and its social environment, all of which interact (Atzl and Keller 2013).
It is crucial for sustainable planning to consider broad environmental and social dimensions and systemic implications of new infrastructure to build more resilient societies, reduce poverty, improve human well-being, mitigate climate change and address other global change processes.
Rather than seeing the economic crises of women in Africa and responding in an ad-hoc, emergency manner, Team Indego has spent years preparing the solid infrastructure and systemic processes that now define their brand.
The deficient services and substandard capacity in the surveyed district hospitals are systemic in nature, representing infrastructure, supply, equipment, and human resource constraints.
Part of the answer also lies in systemic changes, such as infrastructure to link clinicians with community resources, and changes in the system to create incentives that encourage the appropriate delivery of efficient interventions (7).
Moreover, our analysis highlights the relevance of infrastructure-related systemic risk, corresponding to the effects caused by the improper functioning of financial market infrastructures or by financial market infrastructures acting as conduits for contagion.
