Urban environmental risks, such as climate change, resource depletion and environmental pollution, are hindering sustainable urban development. Resilient cities construction programs have become an important demand in recent management and research practices of cities and international organizations worldwide. Research on environmental governance in resilient cities has drawn attention from various disciplines, including infrastructural engineering, urban planning, disaster science, geography, ecology, economics, political science, sociology, public administration etc., integrating both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The interdisciplinary nature of resilient cities needs to be recognized to better identify the multiple economic, social, spatial, and physical factors and the wide range of stakeholders in environmental and resilient governance.
This Research Topic aims to collect new conceptualizations, analytical methods, case studies and policy tools that advance our knowledge in environmental governance in resilient cities. Due to different research backgrounds and emphases of different disciplines, the concept and mechanism analysis of urban resilience are not uniform. It is crucial to explore a more integrated mechanism of urban resilience for resilient cities construction and environmental governance. When it comes to measurement of urban resilience, traditional approaches such as field-based research, econometric analysis, systematic modeling have proved to be useful tools, while cutting edge approaches such as machine learning and big data have brought new opportunities and challenges.
This Research Topic welcomes theoretical, empirical and methodological contributions to environmental governance in resilient cities. Both Review and Original Research papers are welcome. The submitted manuscripts should meet the Aim & Scope of the journal. Potential themes include but are not limited to the following:
• Environmental governance for urban resilience;
• Climate change and environmental risks adaptation in resilient cities;
• Adaptive mechanisms of resilient urban system;
• Dual-carbon targets and sustainable development;
• Transformation of environmental governance in developing regimes;
• Challenges, innovations and best practice in environmental governance for urban resilience;
• Incorporating big data approaches into environmental and resilience governance;
• Resilient urban system modeling from a machine learning perspective.
