The concept of 'environmental resilience' has gained significant traction in ecological studies, yet its application to urban planning remains contentious. Resilience, in this context, refers to a system's capacity to absorb disturbances while retaining its fundamental structure and functions. However, critics argue that focusing solely on resilience may inadvertently prioritize recovery to a pre-disturbance state, which could be unsustainable if that baseline itself was ecologically degraded. Instead, they advocate for 'transformative adaptation,' which involves shifting urban ecosystems to new, more sustainable configurations. This debate underscores a broader tension between maintaining stability and embracing change in the face of climate uncertainty.
