Ecological assessment on urban eco-security and strategy for the resilience to tackle with
climate change
T
he concept of resilience under the challenges of global climate change has continuously attracted the international
research interesting since 1980’s. Some cities both in overseas and China such as London, New York, Chicago,
Rotterdam, Durban, Quito, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Deyang and Huangshi, etc. have designed the planning and
construction scheme of resilience according to their own characteristics from different aspects. It is now a new mode
for urban development worldwide to tackle with the climate change. The dynamic resilience was assessed in this study
by using a case study of Shanghai, China and puts forward the indexes system of eco-security and strategy of urban
resilience. The results showed that the bigger difference exists between Chinese cities and western cities in environmental
background and the complex ecosystem of natural and socio-economy, as well as administrative governance. Therefore,
the strategies of China's urban eco-security and resilience should combine with their own conditions and characteristics.
