As urban populations grow unprecedentedly, cities worldwide face pressures from rapid expansion, climate change, and social inequalities. Resilient Urbanism critically examines how cities, towns, and informal settlements adapt to these multifaceted challenges, exploring urban resilience in the 21st century.

This volume investigates resilience across a variety of urban contexts, from megacities in the Global South to suburban and coastal regions, through interdisciplinary essays. The contributors examine how urban communities confront crises, navigate urbanization, adapt to climate change, and respond to socioeconomic transformations using innovative and, at times, unconventional strategies. Case studies highlight the lived experiences of urban dwellers, from informal settlements in Maputo, Rio de Janeiro, and Hanoi to the challenges of achieving energy efficiency in Buenos Aires.

By interrogating dominant discourses on urban resilience, Resilient Urbanism offers a reimagined perspective on how cities and their inhabitants address uncertainty and change. It emphasizes the everyday practices of urban residents and explores the sociopolitical dynamics of urbanization, presenting resilience not merely as a theoretical framework but as a lived, evolving process. This work sheds light on how cities withstand crises and actively reshape themselves in response to these disruptions.

This volume is an essential resource for scholars, urban planners, policymakers, and professionals concerned with the future of cities. It underscores that urban resilience is not just a theoretical concept but a vital imperative for navigating the complexities of a rapidly changing global landscape.
