The fast-growing population in developing countries coupled with the migration of the huge mass of village inhabitants to the large cities to seek better opportunities and safety conditions have been substantially increased the pressure on the existing urban infrastructure. This, coupled with the increased frequency of the natural as well as man-made disasters, presses the need for modern societies in large cities to search for pathways towards prevention, preparedness and recovery of this infrastructure in an event of a disaster. Owing to this, urban resilience has gained importance in the scientific context so as to explore the capabilities of cities to face and withstand extreme disaster events. Cities are complex adaptive and reconciling systems with a prospect to cope with resilience towards sustainability by effective use of transformational processes.
Our study analyses urban resilience in the context of natural and man-made disasters across developing countries. In particular, this research first identifies the key elements of resilience and further studies them with a focus on different cities in developing economies as well as various types of disasters. Moreover, we investigate the urban resilience from the perspective of a case on dust storms in New Delhi, India. The outcome of the research enabled in developing an urban resilience framework with respect to urban infrastructure in the case of disasters. In particular, this framework aims to ensure an adequate level of sustainability, centred on humans and society.
