Selected approaches to the resilient city and city resilience.

City/urban resilienceResilient city
“The Urban Resilience Model, structured as a cyclical process and capable to take into account environmental, social, economic, functional and spatial aspects of urban systems’ resilience” (Galderisi 2014: 53)“Not only must teams of ecologists and designers be engaged in continuing dialog aimed at implementing designs that contribute to resilient cities, they must help educate their constituencies to any novel requirements of this integrated approach to design for ecological resilience” (Pickett, Cadenasso, Grove 2004: 380).
“Urban resilience therefore can be defined in evolutionary terms as a proactive rather than reactive view to planning, policy-making and strategic steering in which communities play a vital role for resilient place shaping through their capacity for active learning, robustness, ability to innovate and adaptability to change” (Mehmood 2016: 8)“The term «resilient cities» often refers only to the capacity to maintain functions and structures” (Chelleri 2012: 287).
“Urban resilience refers to the ability of an urban system and all its constituent socio-ecological and socio-technical networks across temporal and spatial scales to maintain or rapidly return to desired functions in the face of a disturbance, to adapt to change, and to quickly transform systems that limit current or future adaptive capacity” (Meerow, Newell, Stults 2016: 44).“The resilient city as one that would be capable of withstanding severe shock without either immediate chaos or permanent harm … While they might bend from hazards forces, they would not break. Composed of networked social communities and lifeline systems, resilient cities would become stronger by adapting to and learning from disasters” (Beatley, Newman 2013: 3332, after Godschalk 2003: 22).
“Urban resilience should be framed within the resilience (system persistence), transition (system incremental change) and transformation (system reconfiguration) views” (Chelleri 2012: 287).“A resilient city is defined by the overall abilities of its governance, physical, economic and social systems and entities exposed to hazards to learn, be ready in advance, plan for uncertainties, resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions” (Jabareen 2013: 227)
