These failures highlight the interconnectedness of our urban systems, which are currently planned in silos, leading to cascading disasters when one system breaks. As we electrify transit and expand renewables, the stress on our infrastructure is increasing, and we lack a unified platform to simulate how these systems interact under strain. I urge you to consider the importance of integrating our planning efforts to prevent future disasters. Together, we can leverage the data available to improve our resilience against extreme weather and infrastructure challenges."}
