Towards a Methodological Framework for Evaluating Urban Resilience: Spatial Indicators for Addressing Complex Urban Systems
摘要
Resilience is a crucial factor in addressing contemporary challenges in urban development and planning, as cities increasingly face negative impacts of climate change, natural hazards, and rapid urbanization. Particularly, urban resilience is a complex, dynamic, and multilayered concept that refers to a city’s ability to withstand and recover from both sudden shocks and long-term stresses. This study aims to develop a catalog of resilience indicators to support planning processes, and intends to test it in a real case study in future research. The methodological approach follows a structured process: (i) a literature review to identify and refine resilience indicators, (ii) the construction of an indicator catalog based on selected sources, and (iii) the application of selected indicators to a case study. The city of Turin (Italy) is proposed as a potential urban context for testing the catalog with a targeted set of indicators, with a focus on the northeastern districts of the city. The application process will involve mapping and analyzing resilience indicators to evaluate and monitor urban transformations resulting from plans and projects, including those linked to the Italian recovery fund (PNRR). This research contributes to the development of tools for evaluating urban resilience through a context-specific and planning oriented approach that seeks to balance natural and human capital.
