Cities move us. Every day, we commute, connect, and navigate urban life. But when disruption hits, from congestion and climate events to energy shocks or pandemics, resilience alone is no longer enough. What if cities could learn from disruption? What if stress didn’t weaken systems, but strengthened them? This is the idea behind antifragility.

AntifragiCity is a Horizon Europe project rethinking urban mobility across Europe. Bringing together 13 partners in 8 countries, we are designing systems that don’t just recover, but adapt, improve, and grow stronger through disruption.

Our approach combines technology to detect and assess disruptions, real-world testing in pilot cities, citizen participation at the centre of our decision-making, and data-driven insights for better urban planning.

What we learn feeds into European research and policy, helping cities become more sustainable, inclusive, and prepared for the unexpected.

The future of cities won’t avoid uncertainty; it will grow through it.
