Covid-19 has upended all assumptions of what a resilient community looks like in the midst of a global crisis. It's not measurable by house prices or educational attainment or employment levels - it's measurable by connectedness. By the trust and reciprocity that flows between its citizens. Faced with immediate needs, strong communities have proven able to provide solutions in a distributed way, often faster and at lower cost than a centralised solution. This is because social capital, in which community interactions build trust and reciprocity, makes a community capable of organising itself, reducing the transaction costs associated with more formal coordination. And under normal conditions, connected communities have happier, less lonely citizens - with all of the positive social and economic externalities that implies.But community resilience is hard to pin down, and as a society we haven't managed to measure connectedness, never mind enable or resource it effectively. Our platform is an answer to this. It will combine the best of systems mapping, place-based analysis, game design and network theory to gather global data on how communities structure themselves - all through the lens of social capital. Citizens and practitioners will be able to create network representations of their own communities and benefit from a shared library of networks created by other users. They will be able to stage shocks and look at how resilient their particular network of connections is under challenging conditions. Ultimately they will be able to plan to adapt their real-life community in response to the learning the platform offers.The implications are profound -- enabling communities globally to build resilience to catastrophic events - not through investment in social infrastructure with its vast call on resources - but through investment in community networks and belonging. The collective intelligence gathered by the platform will provide a powerful dataset through which government, funders and change-makers can consider again how resources are allocated and interventions made -- all in pursuit of a stronger, more resilient future as we adjust to the new world that emerges.By extending the project, we will be able to build on this first phase that takes us to a soft launch in December. During the extension phase we will work closely with our Working Group to do end-to-end testing and refinement of our service and subscription models, as well as testing the business model and building our operations to scale at launch.

新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）颠覆了所有关于在全球危机中一个有韧性的社区是什么样子的假设。它不能用房价、教育程度或就业水平来衡量--它可以用连通性来衡量。公民之间的信任和互惠。面对迫切的需求，强大的社区已经证明能够以分布式方式提供解决方案，通常比集中式解决方案更快，成本更低。这是因为社会资本，其中社区互动建立信任和互惠，使社区能够组织起来，减少与更正式的协调相关的交易成本。在正常情况下，互联社区的公民更快乐，更少孤独--这意味着所有积极的社会和经济外部性。但社区的弹性很难确定，作为一个社会，我们还没有设法衡量互联性，更不用说有效地实现或提供资源了。我们的平台就是一个答案。它将结合联合收割机最好的系统映射，基于地点的分析，游戏设计和网络理论，以收集全球数据，社区如何结构本身-所有通过透镜的社会资本。公民和从业者将能够创建自己社区的网络表示，并从其他用户创建的共享网络库中受益。他们将能够进行冲击，并查看他们特定的连接网络在具有挑战性的条件下的弹性。最终，他们将能够根据平台提供的学习机会，制定计划，调整现实生活中的社区，其影响是深远的--使全球社区能够建立对灾难性事件的复原力--不是通过对需要大量资源的社会基础设施的投资，而是通过对社区网络和归属感的投资。该平台收集的集体智慧将提供一个强大的数据集，通过它，政府、资助者和变革者可以重新考虑如何分配资源和进行干预--所有这些都是为了在我们适应新世界的同时追求一个更强大、更有弹性的未来。通过延长该项目，我们将能够在12月软启动的第一阶段的基础上再接再厉。在扩展阶段，我们将与我们的工作组密切合作，对我们的服务和订阅模式进行端到端测试和改进，并测试商业模式，并在推出时扩展我们的运营。
