Cities around the world are coping with circumstances not experienced in over a century. The ongoing global health crisis has exposed and entrenched previously existing vulnerabilities in economic markets, social equity, and infrastructure investment. Simultaneously, technological innovations have advanced decades of projected action in less than a year. Recovery from the pandemic requires reshaping city development and offers an opportunity for targeting investments to more effectively meet the challenges on the horizon. For these reasons, Orbia and the Resilient Cities Network (R-Cities) announced a new partnership on February 2, 2021. Orbia and R-Cities will work together to produce cutting edge infrastructure investment solutions across water supply systems, urban food systems, and connectivity. Orbia and R-Cities partnership aims to enhance the quality of life in cities. Additionally, it is an important step in Orbia's commitment and delivery on the United Nations'Sustainable Development Goals, specifically those addressed by sustainable management of water and sanitation and building resilient, inclusive, and sustainable cities. This long-term partnership will help drive forward the transition toward resilient cities by promoting sustainable infrastructure investments. The work will utilize Orbia's expertise in material innovation and draw on the intellectual heft of R-Cities members who are leaders in creating safe, smart, and equitable solutions in urban environments. Together with its business groups, Wavin, Netafim, and Dura-Line, Orbia and R-Cities members will identify materials, products and systems that value long-term savings over short-term costs and implement circularity-driven practices. Starting this month, Orbia and R-Cities will begin work in North America, Mexico, Europe and the Middle East, and over time will look to expand to other regions such as Asia. As the partnership ramps up, Orbia will provide R-Cities members access to expertise, tools, trainings, and financial resources that improve city processes and projects.
