The concept of 'urban resilience' has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly in the context of climate change adaptation. Urban resilience refers to the capacity of a city to absorb disturbances, reorganize, and maintain essential functions in the face of shocks such as floods, heatwaves, or economic crises. Scholars argue that resilience is not merely about physical infrastructure but also involves social, economic, and institutional dimensions. For instance, a city with robust social networks and flexible governance structures can often recover faster from disasters than one with only advanced engineering solutions. However, critics caution that an overemphasis on resilience may divert attention from addressing the root causes of vulnerabilities, such as inequality or unsustainable urban growth. Thus, achieving genuine resilience requires a holistic approach that integrates environmental sustainability with social justice.
