Talk:Resilience in the built environment

Latest comment: 3 years ago by Klbrain in topic Merge proposal

Merge proposal edit

Propose to merge back to Resilience (engineering and construction). The topic was touched in the December 9 Help Desk entry Wikipedia:Help desk#Move article/Change display title. The main argument was given in edit comments by Þjarkur: built environments belong to engineering and construction. An existing article Urban resilience is linked there by "See also".

I will be adding ways in which resilience specifically applies to building codes, building certification programs (LEED and RELi), the construction and engineering article is too specific to one part of reslience, and the urban resilience is a much larger city-scale scope.

I agree with Wakari07 that this is an unnecessary split. The impact of natural disaster on buildings & building codes are a subset of engineering and construction. I also think it is too much detail to go into the specifics of U.S. building ratings. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:45, 10 December 2019 (UTC)Reply


I oppose the merge, LEED certification, RELi certification and other parts of the article are design building focused. Social-ecological resilience cannot be listed under the engineering and construction title at it is not linked to either. Why is this seen as an unnecessary split whereas urban resilience has its own article?Ghaliaamm (talk) 19:41, 10 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I believe that the engineering and construction article can be merged and be a subset of the built environment. The built environment encompasses a lot more than just engineering and constructionGhaliaamm (talk) 19:43, 10 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
