Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is undoubtedly the most severe public event in recent years, revealing how vulnerable our cities and neighbourhoods are. Although the concept of resilience has already emerged for responding to multi-disasters in existing research, the highly transmissible diseases have given a new significance to “resilience” and placed it in the spotlight of city sustainability-related studies. This chapter is an introduction to the book, which briefly describes the research context, aim, and structure of this book and highlights the role that urban scholars can play in pandemics. In order to prepare better for future probable pandemics, this book mainly focuses on innovations for enhancing built environment resilience and urban sustainability.
