Robust systems include well-conceived, constructed and managed physical assets, so that they can withstand the impacts of shocks without significant damage or loss of function. Robust design anticipates potential failures in systems, making provision to ensure failure is predictable, safe, and not disproportionate to the cause. Overreliance on a single asset, cascading failure and design thresholds that might lead to catastrophic collapse if exceeded are actively avoided. An important aspect of robustness is proper operations and maintenance to ensure that systems are functioning properly. (E.g. A building is designed to accommodate a seismic event without collapse or excessive damage.) Redundant A redundant network or system has a belt and braces approach which includes spare capacity or back-up to accommodate disruption, extreme pressures or surges in demand. Providing diverse ways of achieving a given need or fulfilling a particular function is a means to achieving a redundant system. If one service channel gets disrupted, another can be used. (E.g. A power distribution network is able to rebalance to respond to a surge in demand in a particular area.) Reflective Resilient urban systems examine, learn, and evolve based on their past experiences and new information, modifying standards or norms based on emerging evidence rather than seeking permanent solutions based on the status quo. As a result, people and institutions examine and systematically learn from their past experiences, and leverage this learning to inform future decision-making. (E.g. A financial management system might make use of information on past shocks and stresses to improve budget reserving policies.) Coordinated Coordination between city systems and agencies means that knowledge is shared, planning is collaborative and strategic, and decision-making is based on investments that are mutually supportive towards a common outcome. Exchange of information between systems enables them to function collectively and respond rapidly through feedback loops occurring throughout the city. (E.g. A coordinated transport systems is not only aligned with urban growth dynamics and land use but also has open communication with other agencies so that it can divert user traffic to different modes of transport based on changing condit
