Vulnerability of the City Infrastructure as a Part of the Resilient City Concept

Abstract The sustainability development and operation of the city is basically dependent on its serviceable infrastructure. The understanding of different infrastructures resilience and vulnerabilities is important for the city security. In this work we focus on the notion of transportation infrastructure vulnerability. Some infrastructure types or some specific infrastructure elements can be more or less vulnerable than the others. Following mentioned facts the paper focuses on assessment of the city infrastructure vulnerability to the effects of disasters as a part of the resilient city concept. The proposed assessment is intended to be applied to the critical infrastructure.
