In recent years, rising global flood frequency has made urban flood resilience evaluation urgent. However, existing reviews are outdated and lack a comprehensive synthesis of the latest research developments. Based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this study analysed 220 publications published between 2015 and 2025. A comprehensive analysis was conducted across dimensions, including publication trends, keyword evolution, research scale, method, framework and evaluation indicators. Key findings include the following: (1) The number of publications in this field has been increasing annually, reaching a peak of 67 in 2025. (2) Research themes are gradually shifting from traditional disaster prevention and mitigation towards systematic urban flood resilience management. (3) Research scales encompass macro, meso and micro levels. Quantitative research methods accounted for the largest proportion at 53.6%, progressively integrating mixed methodologies. A multidimensional resilience evaluation framework has been established, incorporating social, ecological and technological dimensions. (4) Social resilience focuses on resident conditions, local economy and emergency organizations; ecological resilience emphasizes natural environment and flood disasters; technological resilience encompasses both infrastructure and disaster prevention technology. This study helps government administrators to better understand resilience and can serve as a reference for enhancing urban flood resilience.
