Resilience in infrastructure

Juliet Mian

Juliet is the director of infrastructure resilience and global resilience skills leader at Arup, working with a broad community of inspiring and dedicated resilience practitioners.

Juliet helps organisations understand their risks due to climate change and other shocks and stresses and achieve greater resilience of the infrastructure systems for which they are responsible.

She promotes a systemic approach to resilience, considering robustness, redundancy, adaptive capacity and the ability to transform where necessary.

Juliet enjoys the multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral nature of her work, and seeks to deliver solutions through collaboration and integration across the system and throughout the infrastructure lifecycle.
