THE FORMS OF RESILIENCE IN URBAN CONTEXTS

The book “The Forms of Resilience in Urban Contexts” compiles contributions from a diverse group of scholars, professors, researchers, and doctoral students associated with the research teams led by the two authors: Celestina Fazia from the Department of Engineering and Architecture in Kore University of Enna, Italy and Kh Md Nahiduzzaman from Citinnov SA for Integrated Territorial Planning and Smart Cities1 in Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), Morocco. The topic of resilience has been addressed on several occasions and in different fields, but the approach that has been taken by the authors is to solicit broader disciplinary reflections on the issues and research/experiments, delving into issues that have remained underexplored. Therefore, a structure was envisioned that would consider a double key: on the one hand, insights into the concept of urban resilience and its evolutions/declinations, and on the other hand, experiments, trying to bring out the contributions that different fields of intervention provide to make cities more resilient and ready to face the challenges ahead. The authors attempted to solicite contributions on the following areas:

- Context and significance of resilience in urban planning

- The advancement of urban resilience: moving beyond sustainability

- Technological and digital transitions: perspectives and opportunities

- Case studies on resilience: learning from contextual experiences

- The role of heritage and landscape in urban resilience

- Green and blue infrastructure: foundations for resilient urban landscapes

- Emergency and affordable housing urbanism, hypotheses for sustainable regeneration.
