Risk Management and Urban Resilience: Literature and Practice

Cities are increasingly facing risks, leading to the proliferation of urban resilience analyses. Despite recognizing that decision-support frameworks could enhance resilience, it remains unclear how theory and practice have embraced them. Utilizing Gowin’s V structure, we conduct a dual analysis to explore the connection between risk management and urban resilience. Our findings indicate a partial integration of risk management in both academia and practice. By delineating these gaps, our research contributes to future public management studies, aiding city officials, policymakers, and communities in identifying and rectifying weaknesses within resilience plans.
