Resilience is increasingly becoming a catchword in current
discussions about urban and regional development. While there has
been a strong research focus on sustainability, there is a lack of
understanding of the processes and factors that make cities and
regions more vulnerable and others more resilient, for example,
when dealing with climate change, demographic decline and ageing,
as well as economic crises. The German Annual of Spatial Research
and Policy 2010 sheds some light on this by discussing examples of
how actors deal with change. On the one hand, concepts are
described and analysed which are oriented towards increasing urban
regional resilience, for example regarding energy consumption,
climate change, and urban decline. Moreover, institutional aspects
are discussed. On the other hand, barriers for using the concept of
resilience in planning are described and suggestions are made about
how to deal with these barriers in strategic planning.
