The resilience of the built environment encompasses designing for stress accumulation on a system and the preparation and response to extreme events, such as climate change, human disasters, natural hazards, resource loss, terrorism, IT and cyber integrity, and crime.

The influence of the digital world is increasing its impact on those involved with the built environment, whilst our capability to exploit data to inform designs and push the boundaries of what is possible is at the heart of structural engineering. It has never been more important for structural engineers to be competent in the use of digital tools and demonstrate an awareness of the potential risks and opportunities digital systems can bring.
