ABSTRACT: Affected by the rapid
progress of urbanization and the climatic environment, cities must continue to
improve their resilience to enhance their “disaster-resistance” and
“self-recovery” capabilities to cope with various types of disasters. Based on
the urban resilience framework proposed by the Rockefeller Group, this study
selected cities such as New York, New Orleans, Fukushima, Da Nang, and Athens
as typical cases to analyze their resilience plans in detail, and discussed the
construction of urban resilience evaluation models and their main impact factors, found that
infrastructure resilience and social resilience are the two most important
dimensions of urban resilience. At the same time, combined with the smart city
index systems (standards) of Shanghai and Guangdong, China, to further optimize
the evaluation model of urban resilience, and exploratively propose a set of
urban resilience evaluation index systems suitable for urban applications in
China.
