As the frequency and severity of climate-related disasters increases, understanding how to improve urban resilience has become an important area of research. The first step in improving urban resilience to climate-related disasters is the assessment of current levels of resilience. Through a systematic review, this study aims to answer the following questions about current urban resilience assessment: 1) what are the most common characteristics of urban resilience; 2) what are the most commonly involved dimensions of urban ecosystems; and 3) what are most frequently applied methods. This study concludes by providing recommendations for future resilience assessments, including the employment of more holistic assessments for urban ecosystems as a whole and in parts and a unifying framing based on urban resilience characteristics for comparing resilience assessments across studies. This review of current resilience assessment literature can be a starting point for scholars and practitioners to optimize resilience assessments and, in turn, improve urban resilience.

随着与气候有关的灾害的频率和严重性的增加，了解如何提高城市抗灾力已成为重要的研究领域。提高城市对气候相关灾害的抵御能力的第一步是评估当前的抵御能力。通过系统的综述，本研究旨在回答有关当前城市弹性评估的以下问题：1）城市弹性的最普遍特征是什么？2）城市生态系统最常涉及的方面是什么？3）最常用的方法是什么。这项研究的结论是为以后的弹性评估提供建议，包括对城市生态系统整体和部分进行更全面的评估，以及基于城市弹性特征的统一框架，以比较各个研究之间的弹性评估。对当前的弹性评估文献的回顾可以成为学者和从业人员优化弹性评估并进而改善城市弹性的起点。
