Abstract：

Urban network resilience is the product of integrating urban network research and regional resilience studies. The introduction of the concept of urban network resilience has broadened the perspective and methodology of regional resilience research, becoming a hot topic in recent years. Reviewing the theoretical origins of urban network resilience reveals that the concept, as discussed by different scholars, can be subdivided into two types: “resilience from urban networks” and “resilience of urban networks”. The former refers to the ability of cities within a region to respond to disturbances through intercity complementarity and cooperative relationships supported by urban networks, while the latter refers to the ability of the urban networks’ inherent structural organization, representing regional spatial organization, to respond to disturbances. Based on analyzing the concept, connotations, and mechanisms of urban network resilience, an exploratory analytical framework for urban network resilience research is constructed from three aspects: determining key issues, selecting measurement methods, and proposing optimization strategies. This paper provides an overall framework for urban network resilience research, thereby offering a scientific basis for optimizing urban and regional spatial organization from the perspective of risk governance.
