“…Despite considerable attention to urban resilience and its frequent usage, this concept has remained ambiguous, with different interpretations in policy and academic discussions about cities ( Amirzadeh et al, 2022 ; Sobhaninia and Buckman, 2022 ). Even though there are various interpretations of this concept, one of the best definitions was presented by Meerow, Newell, and Stults (2016) .…”

“…As the concept becomes increasingly attractive, adaptive resilience is gaining importance both in academia and practice [ 21 ]. Adaptive resilience refers to a social learning process through which individuals, stakeholders, and communities continuously learn and respond to external disruptions (e.g., disaster events) [ 22 ].…”

“…In terms of research methods, attention was paid to the improvement of the conceptual framework, the index system, and data analysis (Paulo and Luís, 2019). For instance, the "Global 100 Resilient Cities" plan puts emphasizes the complexity and diversity of the system and constructed a general framework with seven characteristics, including reflection, resource availability, inclusiveness, integrity, robustness, surplus, and plasticity, reflecting resilience city to manage with sudden disturbances and slow pressure (Amirzadeh et al, 2022). Through establishing an index system to evaluate community resilience, Simon et alapplied the interview to determine the index level to evaluate the infrastructure status of slum communities.…”

Resilience city, a new concept of city sustainable development, becomes one of the important subjects of high-quality development research. Compared to the traditional urban disaster mitigation approach, resilient cities focus more on the organizational capacity and coordination within the urban systems. Taking Guangzhou metropolitan area as an instance, which is featured a highly developed economy and society and frequently happened hazards and disturbances, the paper constructs an evaluation index system from four city subsystems, including economy, society, ecology, and engineering. Meanwhile, by applying the methods of global entropy weight, variation coefficient, geographic information system, and obstacle degree model, the paper explores the time changes, space evolution, and obstacle degree factors of city resilience in the Guangzhou metropolitan area from 2010 to 2020. The research results show that: (1) There is a significant change in the time difference of city comprehensive resilience of the Guangzhou metropolitan area. The resilience of each city’s resilience subsystem has grown steadily, of which the development level of economic resilience, social resilience, and engineering resilience has been steadily improved, and ecology resilience level shows a slight decline among a steadily increasing. (2) The overall city resilience of the Guangzhou metropolitan area shows a radial pattern taking Guangzhou as the core, of which the city economy, society, and engineering resilience grades mainly show a medium and low resilience level, the ecology resilience mainly shows a medium and high resilience level, and the general performance of resilience space distribution level is high in the southeast and low in the northwest. (3) Social resilience and ecological resilience are the main driving subsystems in the early and late stages of city resilience development in Guangzhou metropolitan area during the research period, and engineering resilience is the main constraint subsystem. (4) Water and soil loss control area and population density are the main obstacle factors in the early and late stages of city resilience in the Guangzhou metropolitan area. The density of the city drainage pipeline and the total import and export volume are the basic resilience barrier factors. The paper analyzes the spatial-temporal pattern and influencing factors of city resilience in the metropolitan area from a multi-dimensional perspective, provides a new thinking and analysis framework for the management and sustainability of city resilience in the metropolitan area, and provides a reference for the coordinated development of the metropolitan area.
