Abstract:
With the frequent disasters caused by climate change, the construction of resilient cities has become an important measure to deal with risks. As the fundamental unit of governance, community resilience system construction is particularly important. Nature-based solutions (NbS) is an important path to achieve community resilience, primarily through integrating engineering interventions and systematic social governance measures to effectively enhance both the material and social resilience of communities. The United States has made great achievements in applying NbS to improve community resilience. This paper explores the mechanisms of NbS in community resilience construction, reviews the process of integrating NbS into community resilience planning in the United States, and categorizes typical examples based on the mechanisms. Finally, this paper draws insights from the United States experiences from theoretical, planning, and governance perspectives, aiming to provide references for the development of resilient communities in China.
