Abstract:
Resilient governance and the construction of resilient cities have gradually become the practical choices and development trends of China’s urban administrators to cope with the complex, dynamic and heterogeneous context of the modern society. Drawing upon the case study of the city brain in Huitian District of Beijing, this study analyzes the logic, internal mechanisms and development paths of digital technology-enabled urban resilience governance. The findings indicate that the current digital-enabled urban resilience governance differs from the traditional governance model in three aspects—conceptual integration and upgrading, structural resource synergy, and functional and technological complementary—and is highly aligned with the needs of modern urban governance. Additionally, it exhibits exceptional performances across five dimensions, including framework construction, scope of application, practice and implementation, administrative mode and major structure. Furthermore, by constructing the analytical framework of “system-structure-technology” that ultimately centers on the practice of urban governance, this study explores the development path of digitally-enabled urban resilience governance in the ecological environment of the Cyber-Physical-Social System, aiming to provide insights for the better implementation of urban resilience construction.
