“…Additionally, carbon emissions contribute to air pollution, adversely affecting both human health and the environment. These factors undermine the resilience of ecosystems and their ability to withstand and recover from disturbances [105]. This is in line with Eldesoky et al (2022) [106], who mentioned that the more cities that are exposed to extreme and frequent heatwaves, the more crucial it becomes to understand the combined influence of environmental dimensions on urban resilience.…”

Rapid advancements in digital technologies have accelerated global change, underscoring the critical role of resilience in addressing the escalating energy, economic, and environmental challenges. This paper investigates the effects and mechanisms of the digital economy on energy, economic, and environmental resilience within the context of these challenges. By utilizing panel data from 66 countries spanning the period from 2000 to 2020, this analysis employs robust panel data models and incorporates tests such as the Hausman and Leamer tests, and exploratory factor analysis. The results reveal a notable positive impact of the digital economy on resilience across various countries and time periods. However, when it comes to carbon emissions, a more intricate pattern emerges, suggesting a negative influence on resilience in environmental, energy, and economic domains. Interestingly, countries with below-average carbon emissions show more positive effects on economic resilience due to the digital economy. On the other hand, the effect of the digital economy on energy resilience is less prominent in below-average carbon-emitting nations, while carbon emissions have a more significant impact within this subgroup. Above-average carbon-emitting countries experience limited effects of the digital economy on environmental resilience, while below-average carbon-emitting countries face challenges with significant carbon emissions impacting their environmental resilience.

“…Derived from remote-sensing satellite data excluding the influence of the atmosphere and accounting for surface emissivity, LST is directly related to surface radiation and its thermodynamic properties. Different land-cover (vegetation, impervious, water, unused land, and grassland) characteristics influence solarradiation absorption and re-radiation and influence directly LST and thermal transmission 11,12,13 .…”

Spatial change in the urban landscape related to land cover conversion due to urbanization is recognized as the critical factor affecting the formation and intensity of Urban Heat Island (UHI), which under summer Heat Waves (HWs) substantially modifies the land surface-aerodynamic properties, the energy and water balances and urban thermal environment. One of the most important goals of satellite-based urban thermal environment investigations is the better understanding of the physical content of different satellite-derived biophysical parameters. The specific object of this study is to use time-series Landsat TM/ETM + and MODIS Terra/Aqua satellite data for assessing of urban land cover-air and land surface temperature interactions during period between 2000 and 2022 years over Bucharest metropolitan area. The air (TA) and land surface temperature (LST), key parameters in urban climate research are analyzed in relation with land surface albedo and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) variables, and quantified the spatiotemporal cooling effects of urban green landscape characteristics impacts on urban thermal environment dynamic at city level. The rank correlation analyses revealed that, at the pixel-scale, during summer season (June-August) TA and LST presents a strong positive correlation (r= 0.86%, p<0.01). During summer periods (June -August), LST-NDVI shows a negative correlation (for central city areal r= -0.23, p< 0.05; and for metropolis areal r= -0.67, p<0.01). Also, the monthly mean UHI intensity belongs to the range of (1.3 o C to 6.5 o C), and the most intense UHI occurs during the day-time in the summer season in synergy with heat waves periods. Several urban/periurban zones and landscapes bring diurnally and seasonally different contributions to the local and regional thermal environment.

“…They can also encourage walkability and physical activity [169], increase the use of public transport [170,171] and provide better accessibility to public services [172,173]. On the other hand, many agree that compact urban developments can exacerbate the UHI effect due to increased building density [174,175] and threaten the provision of green and other recreational spaces which can affect the resilience of communities to a certain extent [31,176].…”

“…In fact, the concept of resilience has been introduced in urban studies almost two decades ago, and since then there have been several efforts to better integrate the concept into the theory and practice of urban planning and design [23,24]. In particular, the interest in better understanding how resilience thinking can be integrated into the study of urban form (hereinafter referred to as the field of urban morphology [25]) has been growing, and several studies have been published to investigate and better establish the urban form-resilience relationship (e.g., [23,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32]). This is because, on the one hand, urban form is regarded as the raw material of urban planning and design [33].…”

The concept of resilience was only recently introduced into urban studies to address the complexity and future uncertainty in cities. In particular, the interest in better understanding how it can be integrated into studying urban form—as the raw material of urban planning/design and key for the sustainability of cities—has been growing. However, resilience is a polysemic concept with different meanings/interpretations, which creates ambiguity and challenges in its operationalization. This paper resolves this issue through a systematic review of 106 peer-reviewed publications guided by recurring questions in the literature (e.g., resilience of/through what? To what? For whom? How? When? Where?). The results showed that the urban form–resilience relationship is complex, where many urban form elements can influence resilience to a great many disturbances (general/specified). In facing these disturbances, urban form exhibits different performances (i.e., persistence, adaptability and transformability) and where it can be either persistent/adaptable/transformable itself or can enhance people’s persistence/adaptation capacities. The review also showed that there are many actors for urban form resilience and potential trade-offs. Finally, an overview of existing definitions of urban form resilience is provided to improve clarity in the field, and examples of general urban planning/design recommendations were formulated to enhance the resilience of different urban form elements.
