Special Issue on

Urban Resilience and Housing Policy

Urban Resilience and Housing Policy focuses on the strategies and governance frameworks that enable cities and communities to withstand, adapt to, and recover from social, economic, and environmental challenges while ensuring stable and equitable living conditions. The field examines how housing systems, urban planning, and public policies contribute to resilience in the face of climate change, natural disasters, economic shocks, and rapid urbanization. It also explores issues such as affordable housing, housing security, sustainable urban development, and inclusive policy design. By integrating perspectives from urban studies, public policy, and social development, this area aims to promote resilient housing systems that support long-term urban sustainability and community well-being.
