Performance diagnosis of urban economic recovery and resilience: the case of Kuwait city
November 2022
This report, entitled “Performance diagnosis of urban economic recovery and resilience: The case of Kuwait City” is a result of the United Nations Development Account “Building Urban Economic Resilience during and after COVID-19” project implemented in 16 cities around the globe. Those cities included three in the Arab region, namely Alexandria, Beirut and Kuwait City. Findings on the resilience performance results of Kuwait City based on the methodological application of the diagnostic and planning tool (DPT) developed as part of the project are discussed here.
The report analyses the performance of Kuwait City in the five local resilience areas outlined in the DPT, namely the business environment, labour market, financial system, economic governance and basic service infrastructure and connectivity. This document also aims to inform and guide the development of an economic resilience building plan for the city and introduces solutions that can be used to formulate a practical framework for the creation of a more resilient Kuwait City post COVID-19.
