摘要：As complex forms of human settlement, cities have known an
unprecedented development in recent years. This has made it necessary
to find new ways of preserving them during the journey they undertake.
As such, policies of designing, managing, using and controling urban
utility systems in general and policies of risk management in particular
have begun juggling more and more often with a new concept – urban
resilience. Compared to the old concept of durable urban development,
urban resilience is much more comprehensive because not only does it
englobe the former, but it also helps complete it with aspects regarding
the management of risks associated to potential urban disturbances.
