I am designing an integrated Global Resilient Recovery (GRR) system for academic researchers, health workers, government and policy makers, to tackle the COVID-19 challenges and against future global environmental risks.
You could look into the city-level framework I developed and could be useful, highlighted in chapter 3 of my newest book "the city in need"

The Covid-19 has already claimed tens of thousands of lives and placed entire countries in containment. It triggered the most disastrous economic crisis since the Second World War. In this unprecedented context, it is imperative to overcome the crises associated with covid-19 and to build a sustainable and resilient world.
Locally, the crisis has forced us to see and experience the city differently. Although it is too early to learn lessons, the current situation raises questions and raises reflections on the resilience of our living environments.
Our cities are complex systems, both socially, economically and ecologically. Each component of these large systems offers "different options for dealing with change and for dealing with uncertainty and the element of surprise."
The resilience of a city, that is, its ability to absorb shocks and recover from disturbances, depends on multiple parameters such as the diversity of its components, the redundancy of functions and connectivity. It also greatly depends on the knowledge of its actors, the circulation and mobilization of knowledge, the place given to the multiplicity of actors in social dialogue, and the governance mechanisms put in place. As such, decentralized governance that promotes and supports the interaction of a diversity of voices is a recognized vector of collective action that is particularly supportive of hope and resilience.
