To tell engaging stories     about Beijing and make its voice heard, the    Translation and    Interpretation Center of Beijing Foreign Affairs    Office, in  collaboration with China Academy for Public Policy        Translation of Beijing International Studies University, has     initiated  a   series titled “Understand Beijing: One Key Phrase a    Day”.  From this    year’s Beijing Government Work Report, thirty  seven    trending policy    buzzwords have been selected. Their  elucidation,    along with the   official  translation, is now being  published to    highlight the   significant  measures Beijing has  undertaken in  pursuit   of high-quality   development  and the  resultant achievements.  Through   this series, we  aim  to foster a   deeper understanding of  our city   among foreign   institutions and   nationals in Beijing.

A resilient city

This represents a new paradigm for safety development of cities, which refers to a city's ability to withstand, adapt to and recover quickly from an adverse or changing environment. A resilient city is one that has built up a cushion against unexpected shocks, such as natural disasters and societal problems, in particular, major safety accidents, extreme weather, earthquakes, floods, major epidemics and other emergencies. A resilient city can reorient itself depending on the circumstances to deal with the pressure, adapt, survive, and quickly return to the path of sustainable development. The 14th Five-Year Plan proposes to foster resilient cities. In 2021, Beijing issued the Guidelines on Accelerating the Building of a Resilient City, laying down a master plan for building up the city's resilience in areas including urban space planning, construction, urban management and society, so that resilience is integrated throughout the whole process of planning, development and management.
