Judith Rodin emphasizes that future preparation requires building better cities. Dozens of global cities, from New York to Dhaka, have recently endured large-scale catastrophes, including natural disasters, conflicts, and disease. In our interconnected world, these events harm vulnerable individuals, destabilize communities, and threaten entire societies.

Facing increasing city-wide risks, we must improve our ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Dr. Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation and author of *The Resilience Dividend*, offers groundbreaking research. She guides individuals, companies, and societies in averting disaster by fostering more dynamic, resilient urban environments.

Rodin's work explores critical questions, such as lessons from Japan's 2011 tsunami and Haiti's humanitarian aid. Her book, *The Resilience Dividend*, is available for order.
