Abstract:

Urban resilience, in general, is the ability for cities to absorb disturbance and still retain their functions and structures. It contains the flexibility that could adapt the new demands in strategic planning. Urban resilience starts from the concept of ‘resilience community (or disaster-resistant community)’ that is used in well-organized societies to minimize and lessen the disaster effects (Tobin, 1999, Mileti, 1999). The concept of urban resilience shifted to planning strategies for land use management and urban governance in the late 2000s (Fleischhauer, 2008, Godschalk, 2003). In contrast to other planning concepts that emphasis possibilities to shape change in spatial structure, urban resilience emphasises the ability to recover from changes. Therefore it offers possibilities to become a planning approach for cities to address the new demands arising from sustainable development and climate change. Focusing on the non-linear dynamics, thresholds, uncertainty and unpredictable factors (CSIRO et al., 2007), urban resiliency offers a new way to deal with the current problems.
However, planning policies today, like risk management, may contain some fragments about the consequences in resilient perspectives, but do not reflect the concept of urban resilience comprehensively. The understanding of urban resilience applying in strategic planning remains limited. This study will first understand the various meanings of resilience in spatial planning, and second concentrate on the impact of urban resilience on strategic planning.
