520 _aThe term resilience has been defined as the ability to bounce back or bounce forward. Building resilience in the urban systems is an upcoming research field pertaining to the various challenges posed by the climatic and environmental changes. The resilience of an urban system depends upon the available infrastructure to maintain acceptable levels of functionality during and after disruptive events and to recover full functionality within the specified period of time. Urban Systems are the worst hit in the global environmental change. This present research paper intends to examine the significance of resilience, its challenges and prospects towards future cities. It also makes an attempt in identifying the barriers to resilience and finally concludes with a SWOC (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Challenges) analysis in building resilience in the urban system by identifying research gaps, suggesting potential research areas which can be explored to strengthen the prevailing scenario. The paper concludes with the plausible recommendations which ensure feasible resilience, adding a new perspective to the issue of sustainability in the urban system. – Reproduced
