2021 International Symposium of Resilient City
& The 21st Annual General Meeting of UK-CARE
In October 2019, the first World Young Scientist Summit (WYSS) was successfully held in Wenzhou. Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message to the summit, accurately pointing out that "the future of science and technology is dependent on our young. World's common aspirations are to exchange in science and technology, and to promote innovation and cooperation among young people". In October 2020, the WYSS 2020, which was successfully held in Wenzhou, received a message from UN Secretary-General António Guterres. In his message, Guterres indicated that the declaration adopted by WYSS is an important expression of support for the role of science in advancing human well-being and in overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic.
WYSS is aiming at building a better platform for international cooperation in innovation and technology. With the theme of "gathering talents from all over the world to create a better future", it also intends to unite outstanding young scientists from around the world, establish an open and cooperative exchange platform, promote the exchange of ideas between young scientists and entrepreneurs, lead economic and social development with scientific and technological innovation, and jointly create a better future for human development.
2021 International Symposium of Resilient City is planned to be held during WYSS 2021.

Forum 5: To Achieve Carbon Neutrality and Emission Peak: Predictive Models of Geological Disasters and Infrastructure Risk, and City Power Supply for Resilient Cities Under Extreme Weather
Global climate changes frequently bring extreme weather such as storms, thereby causing many destructive disasters, e.g., landslides, riverbank collapse, engineering slope and city power supply failure. These disasters induced extensive human suffering and financial losses to cities and suburbs in the last few decades. This session involves forecasting methodologies for natural and engineering slop failure, long-run risk modelling and built asset management in coastal infrastructures and designing city power supply systems considering extreme weather and low carbon conditions. The multidisciplinary studies include predictive numerical approaches considering extreme weather, network of early warning systems to issue geological disasters, hydro-geotechnical modelling considering heavy rainfall, artificially intelligent algorithm to analyse collected data of historic disasters, analytical and modelling approaches for long-run risk analysis and built asset management especially for coastal infrastructures, and innovation in designing city power supply system for resilient cities in fitting low carbon conditions.

Forum 6: Heritage Maintenance & Urban and Rural Renewal
The spatial heritage spread throughout urban and rural areas is empirical evidence of the development of human civilization, which continues the history and culture in a formal or informal way. Owing to the urban and rural construction model that adapts to local conditions and keeps pace with time, the spatial heritages have become retention of technology, social organization and conceptual model. On one hand, the integration of new technologies such as big data and AI enriches the level of heritage maintenance, on the other hand, on the other hand, the trade-off between protection and renewal of spatial heritages reflects the evolution of human history and self-concepts. The work that combing traditional local knowledge and new intelligent technologies to protect the resilience of formal and informal spatial heritage in urban and rural areas, sustainable conserving and activating material and intangible cultural heritages, comprehensively considering the resilient construction of urban and rural areas from planning, design, construction and maintenance, requires the joint efforts and collaborative work of planners, designers, urban builders and scientific researchers.

Forum 7: Resilience of Urban Critical Infrastructure Facing Extreme Weather & Smart Water City facing the Changing Climate
The frequency and severity of extreme weather have been increasing as a result of climate change, which may threaten the services and functions of Critical Infrastructures (CIs) as well as harm the social economy due to the interconnectedness of urban systems. The research on urban CIs' resilience concerning extreme weather mainly involves CIs related to transportation, communication, electricity, water and other CIs with service function. Water system is the fundamental part of CIs that guarantee the functionality of a city, and the increase of extreme weather events severely threatens the operational safety of urban water systems. Our topic focuses on the safety of urban water system operation under extreme weather conditions (drought, heat waves, cold waves, storm surges, floods) and uses the new technologies such as big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, digital twin and blockchain to ensure the safety of urban water systems.

Forum 8:Sponge cities in the era of big data and artificial intelligence
The concept of sponge cities has been developed and practised as a new paradigm for urban water management in China in recent years. This encounters the emergence of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) which have already transformed many sectors such as retail and finance in recent years. Undoubtedly, AI will transform the discipline of water resources management and bring new opportunities and challenges to the development of sponge cities. The following topics will be discussed: sensor development, monitoring system design, data processing, sponge city design and planning, sponge city assessment, urban flood modelling, risk and resilience analysis, water quality management, water supply security, water asset management, climate change impact and adaptation, machine learning application and water digital twins.
