Toward resilient cities – a review of definitions, challenges and prospects
This paper provides a review of the definitions, challenges and prospects toward resilient cities. It refers to the definitions provided by several researchers for resilience, links resilience to sustainability, discusses the role of spatial planning in strengthening urban resilience, identifies barriers to resilience, summarizes the requirements for creating resilient cities and exemplifies on cities, climate change and resilience. The paper concludes that the concept of resilience adds a new perspective to the issue of sustainability in the sense that resilience is needed for a sustainable environment. Finally, it refers to the link between climate change adaptation and mitigation plans for cities on the one hand and plans for resilient cities on the other.
