Urban resilience refers to the capacity of cities to withstand, adapt to, and recover from disturbances such as natural disasters, economic crises, or the impacts of climate change. This concept involves strengthening the social, ecological, and infrastructural capacities of urban territories, promoting flexible, inclusive systems capable of transforming in the face of new challenges.
