Abstract
This paper proposes a resilient approach in urban planning aiming at the creation of resilient cities with ability to withstand types of threats. By studying the initiation and development of resilient approach, the paper raises two important viewpoints. Urban resilience study is divided into two fields: the urban ecological resilience and the city engineering resilience. The author argues that the study of resilient urban planning can be classified into the “planning” for resilient cities and the “resilience” of urban planning. The paper finally recommends a major resilient urban planning initiative, including improve the idea and method of the urban planning, expanding urban systematic research and strengthening cooperation among different disciplines involved in resilient urban planning and development.
