Urban Resilience Assessment and Enhancement Strategies—A Case Study of the Yangtze River Delta
Urban resilience refers to the ability of cities to respond to short-term shocks and long-term changes in the process of development and actively adapt and transform themselves.By establishing an urban resilience indicator assessment system and systematically examining the resilience of cities in the Yangtze River Delta,it is found that the resilience of these cities exhibits a graded distribution,with an overall moderate level of resilience.However,there are significant differences in resilience among cities,and this spatial differentiation does not fully align with the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta region.To enhance the resilience of cities in the Yangtze River Delta,challenges such as prominent issues in ecological environment restoration and protection,as well as lagging infrastructure construction and urban planning,still need to be addressed.Differentiated resilience enhancement strategies can be formulated according to the characteristics and needs of urban development;cross-border cooperation and innovation platform construction can be promoted to achieve technology,talent,and resource sharing;community participation and people's livelihood security can be emphasized,encouraging community residents to actively participate in urban planning and management;the cross-border integration of ecological protection and urban design can be strengthened to promote the integration of ecological restoration and nature conservation elements in urban planning;and social innovation and public policy experimentation can be supported to enhance urban social resilience and innovation capacity.
