Abstract

Disasters and threats are directly linked to the evolution of cities, and due to the exponential urban growth, work on urban resilience seems to be more pertinent than ever. Uncertainty not only appears during wars and natural catastrophes, but it also affects cities during economic criseis, socio-political unrest and worldwide epidemics. Therefore, analyzing these uncertain episodes using systems theory and its related concepts might help us to overcome these disturbances as part of the city's evolution.
