“…Conversely, according to the approach to the social-economic resilience, attention is focused on social systems and resilience is measured as the capability of communities to recover a good life quality level. These methods are mainly proposed in social sciences community [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

Abstract:The concept of resilience is used in multiple scientific contexts, being understood according to several different perspectives. Essentially, resilience identifies the capability to recover, absorb shocks, and restore equilibrium after a perturbation. Recently, resilience is triggering increasing interest in engineering contexts, referring to communities and urban networked systems, as the capability to recover from natural disasters. The approach to the engineering resilience dates back to the early 1980s, when Timmerman defined resilience as "the ability of human communities to withstand external shocks or perturbations to their infrastructure and to recover from such perturbations". In this paper, a literature review of the existing methodologies to quantify urban resilience is presented according to a civil engineering perspective. Different approaches, for diverse applications, are examined and discussed. A particular focus is done on the studies from Cavallaro et al. and Bozza et al., approaching disaster resilience of urban environments to natural hazards according to the complex networks theory.

“…Urban infrastructure sustainability has transformed from above traditional three dimensions to the following four dimensions: demand dimension [71], status dimension [72,73], in uence dimension [74,75], and resource dimension [76][77][78]. Urban infrastructure resilience is mainly assessed from measure dimension, which re ects that urban infrastructure can quickly recover to normal status by technical, economic, and management measures after the occurrence of unexpected situations [8,35,79]. e assessment dimensions of urban infrastructure SR-GPA are shown in Figure 4.…”

“…ese urban infrastructures exert significant influence on the global economy and environment and have become central to ensuring a sustainable future [6,7]. Meanwhile, people need to confront tremendous technical, economic, and management risks to construct and operate urban infrastructures; therefore, we must build resilient infrastructure to overcome these risks [8]. erefore, sustainability and resilience of urban infrastructure are vital to urbanization and social development.…”

e concepts of sustainability and resilience have become very popular in the field of urban infrastructure. is paper reviews previous research on sustainability and resilience of urban infrastructure. e concepts of urban infrastructure's sustainability and resilience are compared from the perspectives of dimensions, properties, goals, and methodologies. e paper systematically assesses the sustainability and resilience of urban infrastructure by using the concept of the grade point average (GPA). e GPA of urban infrastructure's sustainability and resilience (urban infrastructure SR-GPA) is proposed as a unified concept. e assessment index system of urban infrastructure SR-GPA is constructed from five dimensions including demand, status, influence, resource, and measure. e analytic network process (ANP) is used to assess urban infrastructure SR-GPA considering the interaction between the indexes. e ANP structure model of urban infrastructure SR-GPA is established based on the assessment method and index system. e Harbin subway SR-GPA is selected as an empirical study to test the applicability of the proposed assessment method. e results show that the assessment indexes have different impacts on urban infrastructure SR-GPA. e Harbin subway SR-GPA is in a low level and can be upgraded through increasing construction investment, allocating resources efficiently, and considering resilience in the whole life cycle.

“…To develop opportunities for the sustainable development of cities, researchers from multiple disciplines are studying the feedback, dynamics, and behavior of urban vulnerability and urban resilience in the face of urban crisis, such as the axioms and mean of urban resilience (Campanella, 2006;Surjan et al, 2011;Wilkinson, 2012;Childers et al, 2014), climate change and urban resilience (Grimm et al, 2008;Leichenko, 2011;Tyler & Moench, 2012), spatial planning and urban resilience in the flood risk (Deppisch & Schaerffer, 2011;Cruz et al, 2013;Lu, 2014), urban resilience and human-dominated ecosystems , urban infrastructure systems (Wilbanks et al, 2012;Ouyang & Wang, 2015), urban resilience index (Attoh-Okine et al, 2009;Sellberg et al, 2015), urban social resilience (Cutter et al, 2010;Tate, 2012) and resilient cities Pickett et al, 2004;Desouza & Flanery, 2013;Vale, 2014). Further, topics on urban resilience and its related domain have become hot-debated focus (Beilin & Wilkinson, 2015).…”

Urban resilience is concerned by the scholars in the world, especially in light of new uncertainty challenges for cities such as natural disasters and man-made disasters. We performed a bibiometric analysis on urban resilience research based on the 1296 articles in the SCI, SCIE, SSCI and A&HCI database from 1986 to 2015. Publication trends were discussed in HistCite to reveal the publication outputs, subject categories and publication pattern, most prolific authors and international productivity. The document co-citation analysis was made in CiteSpace III to explore the research basements and research trajectories, emerging trends and new developments. Growth of article output has emerged since 2003. Environmental studies and environmental sciences came out the most urban resilience articles. Ecology and Society was the most productive journal in this area. Barthel was the most prolific author. USA and UK were the most productive countries, and Arizona State University was the most high-productive institution, but the cooperation is lacking in the worldwide. Two streams were detected from the co-cited papers. "Governance", "climatechange" and "city" are research hotspots of urban resilience according to the strongest citation bursts of keywords, and Folke's paper published in 2006 has the strongest bursts. Future research will focus on ecosystem service, adaptive capacity and human-dominated ecosystem.
