Manuscript Topics

This special issue aims to advance comparative and interdisciplinary research on the conditions, dynamics, and outcomes of urban resilience across diverse global contexts. As cities around the world encounter complex pressures from climate change, rapid urbanization, and environmental degradation, understanding the factors that enable or constrain resilience is essential for informing effective urban planning and policy. The special issue welcomes both empirical and theoretical contributions, including comparative case studies, meta-analyses, methodological papers, and critical reviews.

Key topics of interest include:
• Comparative assessments of urban resilience across countries, regions, or city typologies (e.g., megacities, secondary cities, coastal cities)
• Quantitative and qualitative analyses of structural, institutional, socio-economic, and environmental factors influencing urban resilience
• Methodological innovations in assessing and benchmarking resilience at the urban level.
• The role of governance, policy integration, and cross-sectoral coordination in shaping urban adaptive capacities
• Insights from longitudinal studies on how urban resilience evolves over time in response to shocks and stresses
• The impact of digital technologies, data infrastructures, and smart city strategies on urban resilience
• Case studies highlighting success factors, barriers, and trade-offs in different urban contexts
