Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to the increasingly pressing debate on urban resilience. It does so from an urban manager's perspective. It reviews three conceptual approaches to the subject. These are then set against current urban development programmes in Kenya. It suggests a three-stage set of interventions. In year one, the environmental and physical vulnerabilities are surveyed and plotted on maps. The ideal is through modern GIS. In year two, the softer side of the urban system gains more analytical credibility; the ‘health and well-being’ and ‘economy and society’ dimensions. Year three sees the consolidation of analysis and action through the vertically integrated and iterative spatial and policy-based budgeting processes. These are practical interpretations on how urban resilience might be put into practice. While the concept of urban resilience and practical advocacy centres on Kenya, its application can have resonance in other Africa countries.

城市韧性——城市管理视角

摘要 本文旨在为日益紧迫的城市复原力辩论做出贡献。它是从城市管理者的角度来看的。它回顾了该主题的三种概念方法。然后将它们与肯尼亚当前的城市发展计划进行对比。它提出了一套三阶段的干预措施。在第一年，环境和物理脆弱性被调查并绘制在地图上。理想是通过现代 GIS。在第二年，城市系统较软的一面获得了更多的分析可信度；“健康与福祉”和“经济与社会”维度。第三年通过垂直整合和迭代的空间和基于政策的预算过程来整合分析和行动。这些是关于如何将城市复原力付诸实践的实际解释。
