ABSTRACT: New pattern urbanization, which is explored and developed in China for
improving urban resilience and reducing urban vulnerability. Urban resilience
is a comprehensive ability of a city for dealing with the uncertainty risk
disasters through a combination of urban economy, urban engineering, urban
society and urban ecology. When the city system and its subsystems have certain
resilience in development, it will promote sustainable development. How to
assess urban resilience? What is the spatial-temporal law on the development of
urban resilience? These answers have an important practical significance for
promoting the construction of the modern urbanization and sustainable
development of cities and regions. Based on the above, this study constructed
the measurement system on urban resilience, chose 21 cities of Sichuan province
in China as a case, and analyzed the spatial-temporal law on the development of urban resilience empirically. The
conclusions are as follows: The level of urban resilience was on the
rise, and the characteristics of spatial heterogeneity on urban resilience were
presented, and the spatial agglomeration degree increased gradually. The
resilience of urban economic system, urban engineering system, and urban
ecological system revealed a cluster characteristic in Sichuan province, but
urban social system was not obvious.
