The Relation Between Resilient Cities and City Growth: Relational Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

In the context of rapid urbanization and implementing attractive cities for investments. Environmental considerations of more effective approaches are increasing. These approaches ensure that the stages of urban growth are resilient during their developmental phases. The concept of resilient cities aims to preserve the continuity of diverse systems and enhance cities’ capacity to withstand all challenges. Also, it seeks to increase its ability to recover swiftly and confront additional fluctuations. However, to ensure the successful application of resilient city standards, they must be integrated into the city's growth stages from planning and design to implementation and various operational phases, to achieve its objectives. This research aims to study the relationship between the resilient city approach and the city's growth stages by applying relational bibliometric analysis using the SCOPUS database of 816 research from 2004 to 2024, according to specific criteria, A statistical analysis of this data was conducted using VOS viewer software, and The results revealed that most studies on resilience and urban growth focus primarily on risks and disasters, which precisely highlights a research gap: the limited application of resilience approaches during the stages of urban growth, whether in planning, implementation, or operation. The study recommends conducting extensive future research on various frameworks and standards for applying resilience throughout the urban growth process, in addition to exploring the potential integration between resilience approaches and other environmental methodologies that emerged during the study, such as urban metabolism
