Conclusions: 1.Diagnose/assessment is the first necessary step, but is not enough: Without any action the add value is minimum

2.Development of resilience projects have to be proportional to the competence of local administration

3.Each improvement project generated by this process, need to complete the cycle: from definition to communication and update

4.Collaboration with the rest of the administrations and private enterprises (owners or operating in the city) is essential

Barcelona City Council offers to create a Task Force, in collaboration with another cities, to develop a

Protocol of Urban Resilience related with the Infrastructures and Services, based on the existing

experiences.
