Resilienza – dall’etimo latino resilire che significa rimbalzare – è concetto antico, studiato e sviluppato in diverse discipline scientifiche, quali la fisica dei materiali, l’ingegneria, l’ecologia, la biologia, la psicologia, le scienze sociali, solo per citarne alcune. Dai diversi contributi disciplinari discende la polisemia del concetto che rimanda ad una definizione ampia, capace di mettere a fuoco una metafora efficace per analizzare i sistemi complessi.

Cities play an increasingly significant role in the challenges posed by climate change, mainly due to their role in economic and demographic drivers. It is generally agreed that the intensification of climate change effects, such as extreme weather events, requires strengthening in the mechanisms of adaptation and the endogenous self-organization of urban systems.
Urban resilience is a structural property of urban systems and it is related to their capacity to... continually self-organising and adapt in the face of ongoing and unpredicted changes and risks. Although academic debate on urban resilience is deeply understood, several methodological challenges remain both related to the theoretical and the practical domain of the concept. Operationalizing resilience is arguably one of the most impactful global issues for the future research as it implies to link the concept about what urban resilience is and what urban resilience ought to be.
The book brings together a series of theory and practice essays on risk management and adaptation in urban contexts within a resilient and multidimensional perspective. The book proposes a transversal approach with regard to the role of spatial planning in promoting and fostering risk management as well as institutions’ challenges for governing risk, particularly in relation to new forms of multi-level governance that may include stakeholders and citizen engagement.
The systematic integration of landscape dimension into general and sector-focused planning policies is one of the European Landscape Convention crucial points. This aspect is still poorly implemented in Italy, where landscape is often conceived as a field of action separate from the territorial context.
Territori della contemporaneità sono interessati da radicali dinamiche di cambiamento che stanno ...compromettendo gli assetti consolidati dello spazio fisico, sociale e politico in cui viviamo. Diseguaglianze e tensioni sociali, contrazione demografica e dismissioni urbane, alterazioni degli equilibri ambientali ed ecologici pongono l’urbanistica di fronte a una indifferibile stagione di riforma per una riarticolazione progressiva del sistema valoriale della disciplina.

Over the last few years, resilience has emerged as a “new way of thinking” for dealing with cities’ uncertainties and challenges. As promoted by UN Sustainable Development Goal 11, urban resilience is increasingly seen as a driver for change. At the same time, resilience is commonly criticized for being too ambiguous and an “empty signifier”, as it is difficult to operationalize it.
