As it strongly stresses cities? transformative potential, resilience?s final purpose is to prevent and manage unforeseen events and improve communities? environmental and social quality. Although the resilience theory has been investigated in depth, several methodological challenges remain, mainly related to the concept?s practical sphere. As a matter of fact, resilience is commonly criticised for being too ambiguous and empty of meaning. At the same time, turning resilience into practice is not easy to do. This will arguably be one of the most impactful global issues for future research on resilience. The Special Issue ?Bridging the Gap: The Measure of Urban Resilience? falls under this heading, and it seeks to synthesise state-of-the-art knowledge of theories and practices on measuring resilience. The Special Issue collected 11 papers that address the following questions: ?What are the theoretical perspectives of measuring urban resilience? What are the existing methods for measuring urban resilience? What are the main features that a technique for measuring urban resilience needs to have? What is the role of measuring urban resilience in operationalising cities? ability to adapt, recover and benefit from shocks?? 517 $aBridging the Gap 606 $aEconomics, finance, business & management$2bicssc 610 $aurban resilience 610 $aspatial planning 610 $avulnerability 610 $ameasuring 610 $amapping 610 $adecision-making 610 $amulti-risk 610 $aflood 610 $afire 610 $aindicators 610 $aregional resilience 610 $aadaptive capacity 610 $asectoral industry composition 610 $aurban vs. inner areas 610 $agreen infrastructure 610 $aresilience 610 $asustainability 610 $asocial-ecological indicators 610 $aindicator 610 $amonitoring 610 $aclimate change 610 $aclimate adaptation 610 $adynamic models 610 $adecision making 610 $ascenario planning 610 $aenergetic resilience 610 $asolar radiation 610 $ageographic information system 610 $aland use planning 610 $aurban regulation 610 $aurban energy resilience 610 $abuildings energy balance 610 $aurban hourly model 610 $aresidential buildings 610 $aurban variables 610 $aplace-based analysis 610 $acommunity resilience 610 $asystematic overview 610 $aresilience modelling 610 $aknowledge representation 610 $aresilience assessment 610 $ainformation visualisation 610 $awalkability 610 $awalkability measure 610 $aquantitative 610 $aqualitative and mixed models and methods 610 $aurban planning 610 $apublic space 610 $ashift-share analysis 610 $aemployment dynamics 610 $asector composition 610 $ametro-regions 615 7$aEconomics, finance, business & management 700 $aBrunetta$b Grazia$4edt$033871 702 $aFaggian$b Alessandra$4edt 702 $aCaldarice$b Ombretta$4edt 702 $aBrunetta$b Grazia$4oth 702 $aFaggian$b Alessandra$4oth 702 $aCaldarice$b Ombretta$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557489403321 996 $aBridging the Gap$93018845 997 $aUNINA
