Our Resources HubExplore publications and materials from AntifragiCity
These resources will support cities, researchers, and stakeholders working to design antifragile urban mobility systems.
AntifragiCity’s first press release
AntifragiCity launched its first press release to announce its official kick-off. It outlines the project’s mission, key objectives, and introduces the four demonstration cities and consortium members.
Author(s): AntifragiCity consortium
AntifragiCity’s logo
The AntifragiCity official logo is designed to reflect the values at the core of our work: antifragility, adaptability, and the capacity (of cities and mobility systems) to grow stronger through disruption.

AntifragiCity’s Brand Book
The AntifragiCity Brand Book is a practical guide that captures the essence of who we are and how we present ourselves to the world. It outlines our mission, vision, target audiences, and tone of voice, and defines our visual identity.

AntifragiCity: Advancing Urban Mobility Through Antifragile
AntifragiCity’s first academic paper outlines our project’s theoretical framework and examines how antifragile principles can improve urban mobility. Instead of simply aiming to recover from crises, the framework proposes methods that help systems become stronger because of them.

AntifragiCity – D8.1: Dissemination, Communication and Engagement Plans
Pending approval from the European Commission. This document outlines AntifragiCity’s strategy for dissemination, communication, and engagement — detailing the key objectives, target audiences, and tools to be used. It also describes the project’s online presence, including its website and social media channels, designed to maximise impact and promote antifragile urban mobility solutions.

AntifragiCity – D2.1: Urban Event Mapping
Pending approval from the European Commission. This document presents a pan-European mapping of urban disruptions, integrating data from the AntifragiCity pilot sites — Odesa, Bratislava, Larissa, and Thessaloniki — within a broader continental dataset. The analysis is based on a two-axis taxonomy that categorises events by domain (transport, environment/weather, utilities/connectivity, and public space/social) and by scale (daily, mid-scale, large-scale). The findings show that transport-related disruptions dominate the European risk landscape, with road works and public transport delays affecting over 60% of respondents.

AntifragiCity – D2.3: Establishing urban states of equilibrium
Pending approval from the European Commission. This document presents a theoretical equilibrium framework for antifragile urban mobility, built around two complementary components: (i) a strategic target-setting model that estimates a time-varying antifragility factor using disturbance mapping and entropy-based normalisation, and (ii) a three-layer operational equilibrium model that integrates traffic assignment and modal choice with infrastructure-service responses under explicit feasibility constraints.

The fragile nature of road transportation networks
This paper demonstrates why urban road networks are inherently fragile under disruption and introduces a practical indicator to measure and compare fragility across cities, opening the way for antifragile traffic design.

AntifragiCity – D2.7: KPIs and Framework Development
Pending approval from the European Commission. This deliverable presents the development of the AntifragiCity KPI’s framework for urban mobility, designed to help cities better understand and respond to disruptions. The framework is based on a large-scale review of over 2,500 indicators from academic articles, EU projects, and grey literature, and complemented by a practitioner survey across eight European cities.
Authors: Evangelos Manthos, Foteini Kehagia, Anastasia Tzioutziou, Maria Tsami, and Yiannis Xenidis.
AntifragiCity – D2.5: Ontology
Pending approval from the European Commission. This deliverable presents the AntifragiCity Ontology, a semantic foundation designed to support the modelling of antifragile, equitable and data-intensive urban mobility systems within the AntifragiCity project. The ontology formalises key entities, processes, events, states and indicators related to disruptions, responses, socio-technical systems, governance, equity and long-term learning.
