all of the city's communities. rough this history, the authors suggest that the right to a resilient city likely evolves through struggle, which has been minimized in previous development projects. In order to right these past inequities, this latest iteration of resilience strategies must include community needs alongside the development that accompanies growth machine resilience. In other words, the process must embrace struggle (Carr 2019). Cronin (2019) offers a more provocative cri- tique. is manuscript challenges our conventional knowledge about the Cuyahoga River fire, positing that our collective memory of the event is shaped more by the claims we make today rather than what we can actually prove happened in the past. In this sense, false memories and narratives create or justify today's conditions or decisions. Cronin's manuscript provides a warning for how we document and define our strat- egies so that they do not provide a false justification for present day missteps. is manuscript outlines the pitfalls of leaving our intellectual frameworks unexamined, which should be applied to our approach to resilience. e papers in this symposium, along with the thousands of papers in the field more broadly, repre- sent a complex body of knowledge that has evolved across decades and disciplines. Although collectively sitting under the idea that a resilient system can ab- sorb shocks and maintain function (or renew, reor- ganize, and develop), there is no clear determination for resilience strategies and certainly no consensus on governance approaches. us, we suggest, resilience is worthy of practice, but also of critique. In doing so, if we pursue these strategies, we should continue to ask: Why should we try to retain the form of those systems? Which ones do we retain and which ones do we let go? And how can we reimagine a system that does not nec- essarily need a resilience approach in the first place? Acknowledgments is symposium was coedited by Rich- ard Schlesinger with help and guidance from Tony Rosen- baum. We very much appreciate the knowledge and labor of reviewers, conference participants, and collaborators.
