Abstract

Urban resilience and sustainability are pivotal concepts in addressing the challenges posed by rapid urbanization and climate change. This comprehensive review synthesizes current literature to examine the interplay between urban resilience and sustainability frameworks. It explores how cities worldwide are striving to enhance their adaptive capacity and mitigate environmental impacts while fostering social equity and economic prosperity. Key themes include the integration of green infrastructure, resilient urban design, and community engagement strategies. Case studies from diverse urban contexts illustrate innovative approaches and best practices in achieving sustainable development goals. By critically evaluating theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, this review provides insights into the complex dynamics of urban resilience and sustainability, offering recommendations for future research and policy implementation.
