This book presents a select set of papers from an international and multidisciplinary approach, outlining the vanguard in the field of methodology, tools, and evaluation of the movement towards urban resilience.

Reflecting on and redesigning the guidelines that orient the planning and management of urban development has become, today, an issue of global scope and priority that demands the committed and determined participation of society. Faced with the formidable challenge of guiding our cities towards sustainability, it is necessary to develop new approaches, paradigms, models, methodologies, and tools that make it possible to assess and raise the resilience profile of urban socio-ecosystems. The experiences that are developed in this book offer a wide and diverse set of concepts, theories, methodologies, instruments, and casuistry, impregnated by resilience notion, to inspire, influence, and guide thinking and practice for architects, urban planners, government officials, businessmen, civil and research organizations.

In this book, the reader will be able to review either theoretical-methodology to organize notions on urban resilience, or application cases in a variety of areas and subsystems of a city but, being all of them inevitably and intricately linked through a complex matrix of structures and interactions that determine future, well-being, and resilience of urban socio-ecosystems in the global anthropo-environment.

Octavio Francisco González Castillo: Industrial Biochemical Engineer and master's in Chemical Engineering from Metropolitan Autonomous University, Mexican institution where he has worked since 1986. The question: how to incorporate the social, economic, political, and environmental dimensions to the life cycle of productive systems? led him to pursue his doctorate studies in Engineering, which he concluded at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2008.He has taught nearly 200 undergraduate and graduate courses and participated as director and jury of numerous masters', and doctoral theses. He has organized and been invited as a speaker in about 50 advanced courses oriented towards the design of productive systems, regional development and sustainability, topics with which he has participated in more than 100 congresses and conferences and published around 40 academic works: proceedings, articles, books, and book chapters. He has been a member of the Consultative Council for Sustainable Development of the Federal Government (2005-2007), as well as of the Council for Sustainable Urban Development of Mexico City (2008-2009). The complexity of the sustainability phenomena in socio-ecosystems convinced him that research in this field requires collaborative work beyond disciplinarity. Since then, he has founded 5 interdisciplinary teams. His work has been distinguished with national and international awards. Valentina Antoniucci is an architect, graduated at the University of Venice, Italy and she received her Ph.D in Management Engineering and Real Estate Economics at the University of Padova, Italy. Untill 2020, she was post - doctoral fellow at the Department of Civil, environmental and architectural engineering at the University of Padua. In her research, she deals with the relationship between the urban form and the housing market, with a specific focus on the incidence of urban density of the residential market. She also studied the price premium of the energy efficiency on the housing market and the increasing role of energy communities in the spread of distributed energy production. Lastly, she analyzed the risk management in public works in Italy She published several articles and conference papers, and her research results have been presented in national and international congress in Italy and Europe. In 2018, she obtained the National Academic Qualification as Associate Professor, and she has taken the course of "Economic feasibility and valuation of the projects" in the University of Padova and, to the present, at the University of Florence, Scuola di Specializzazione dei Beni architettonici e del Paesaggio.
