Rethinking urban resilience through multidimensional lenses

Amid rapid and profound global environmental change, urban disturbances exhibit complex characteristics of multi-source interweaving, cascading propagation, and cross-scale diffusion.A single-dimensional cognition and response paradigm of urban resilience can no longer understand and address the practice-based problems in current urban resilience construction [1].Cities function as deeply coupled complex systems, integrating technological, social, and natural subsystems.Accordingly, urban resilience does not rest solely on the robustness of technological infrastructures.Rather, it is equally contingent upon the disturbance-absorbing capacity of socio-ecological systems and the the collaborative mechanisms of diverse actors [2].Furthermore, revisiting the key challenges and systematically articulating problem-oriented core agendas for advancing urban resilience, through a practice-based and multidimensional lens, is pivotal to addressing persistent deficiencies in urban risk governance and to advancing sustainable urban development.
