Urban resilience: discourse and institutionalisation of a concept

Abstract

The impact of the covid-19 pandemic has made the concept of “urban resilience” even more relevant as one of the keys to the future of our urban areas. Given that they were already evident, the measures to be adopted to contain the pandemic have clarified the limited capacity of our cities to respond to specific and/or structural problems. This article has made it possible to analyse and make visible the different approaches, dimensions, and fields to resilience in the international, European and national reference framework documents that provide guidelines for future urban intervention in our cities.
