Abstract

An integrated strategy that incorporates both smartness and resilience is critical to achieving long-term urban sustainability. A smart city brings both challenges and opportunities for resilience, making the improvement of smart city resilience a key goal in many countries today. This study extracts 21 key enablers that can drive smart city resilience through a literature review and expert opinions, and examines their interrelationships, hierarchies, and priorities by integrating decision making trial and evaluation laboratory, interpretive structural modeling, and analytic network process methods (DEMATEL-ISM-ANP) into a relational model. The results show that financial resource allocation should be prioritized in short-term strategies to support open innovation platform building, ecological protection and disaster risk reduction actions to improve the infrastructural, social, economic and environmental resilience of smart cities. Data reliability, and smart and networked infrastructure are the main transmission enablers, facilitated through technology and governance. Data security, environmental protection, and sustainable resource management are key direct enablers for long-term strategy, facilitated from the bottom up in the structural hierarchy. This research can guide public authorities, practitioners, and academics seeking to advance smart city resilience, and contributes to the building of smart and resilient cities.
