“…Accommodating flooding in such areas would require high investments. As buildings affected by flooding become less valuable, vulnerable populations might move into flood-prone parts of the city, not only increasing overall vulnerability, but also inciting unjust situations (Nagenborg, 2019).…”

“…Hence, they may become reluctant to take resilience into account in their decision-making processes. Hickford et al (2018) pointed out that different approaches including probabilistic graph theory and analytical methods have been used to measure a system's resilience (see for example Ibanez et al, 2016;Zimmerman et al, 2016;Nan and Sansavini, 2017;Ouyang, 2017;Zhang et al, 2018). A variety of metrics are identified and applied to a range of quantifiable impacts depending on disruptive effects and resulting losses of functionality of the infrastructures (Hickford et al, 2018).…”

Abstract. Infrastructure systems are inextricably tied to society by providing a variety of vital services. These systems play a fundamental role in reducing the vulnerability of communities and increasing their resilience to natural and human-induced hazards. While various definitions of resilience for infrastructure systems exist, analyzing the resilience of these systems within cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary perspectives remains limited and fragmented in research and practice. With the aim to assist researchers and practitioners in advancing understanding of resilience in designing infrastructure systems, this systematic literature review synthesizes and complements existing knowledge on designing resilient vital infrastructures by identifying (1) key conceptual tensions and challenges, (2) engineering and non-engineering measures, and (3) directions for future research. Here, a conceptual framework is developed in which infrastructures are defined as a conglomeration of interdependent social–ecological–technical systems. In addition, we define resilient infrastructures as systems with ability to (i) anticipate and absorb disturbances, (ii) adapt/transform in response to changes, (iii) recover, and (iv) learn from prior unforeseen events. Our results indicate that conceptual and practical challenges in designing resilient infrastructures continue to exist. Hence these systems are still being built without taking resilience explicitly into account. Our review of measures and recent applications shows that the available measures have not been widely applied in designing resilient infrastructure systems. Key concerns to address are identified as (i) the integration of social, ecological, and technical resilience of infrastructure systems with explicit attention paid to cascading effects and dependencies across these complex systems and (ii) the development of new technologies to identify factors that create different recovery characteristics.

“…The first contribution in this Special Issue is by Michael Nagenborg, whose aim is to map out the relationship between resilience and justice, specifically in the context of urban resilience to natural disasters (Nagenborg, 2018). The underlying premise of the paper is that there are different, partly contrasting, views on resilience, some of which are more easily reconcilable with justice than others.…”

Over the past two decades, the attention for resilience has increased dramatically and resilience has become the leading paradigm for considering risks and uncertainty in complex systems.Resilience is now commonly used within a broad range of fields. The concept has not only attracted the attention of academics; decision-makers across disciplines, sectors, and scales, also organize their risk strategies around the idea of resilience as resilience is often thought to lead to a betterthat is, a safer and more justsociety. However, the alleged link between resilience and justice is controversial. Some scholars argue that the resilience paradigm primarily benefits those people who are already reasonably well-off at the expense of disadvantaged groups. The focus in this special issue is on the relation between resilience, specifically 'resilient infrastructures', and social justice. While written from different disciplinary perspectives, all are centered around the question of how resilient infrastructures can contribute to social justice ARTICLE HISTORY
