About

    Urban resilience refers to the capacity of a city to withstand and recover from various shocks and stresses, such as natural disasters, climate change, economic downturns, and social unrest. This research area focuses on understanding and enhancing the resilience of urban systems, including infrastructure, governance, social networks, and ecosystems. It involves interdisciplinary approaches that integrate knowledge from fields such as engineering, urban planning, environmental science, sociology, and economics to develop strategies and policies that mitigate risks and build adaptive capacity in cities. The goal of urban resilience research is to create more sustainable, secure, and inclusive urban environments that can thrive in the face of constant challenges and transformations.
