Abstract
Informatization and urbanization have driven the development of strongly connected and complex urban agglomerations, and the cooperation and spatial interaction between cities have become more and more intense, triggering increased attention to regional issues and cross-city resilience responses. This study begins by reviewing the concepts of region and resilience, selecting urban agglomeration as a representative case for cross-city network research. Then, we explore the mechanisms and evolution of cross-city network resilience, based on regional network components. A framework for assessing the resilience of cross-city networks is proposed by combining the network tools, integrating urban resilience, cross-city resilience, and dynamic assessment procedures. The validity and limitations of the framework are examined by choosing the Greater Bay Area as an empirical object, and obtained two important results: (1) the resilience pattern is analyzed in terms of resilience intensity and relative function, (2) the performance of cross-city network resilience mechanisms during the disaster and recovery phases is revealed. Finally, we discuss the need for the dynamics and scenario-based assessment of resilience in cross-city networks. The aim is to contribute to the design of practical frameworks that can guide regional resilience-building and responses to disasters.
期刊介绍:
Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
