Although the use of resilience in international relations and urban planning has given rise to a growing body of critical research, this contested concept continues to feature prominently in the conversation on the development of cities. Taking the 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) network pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation as a case study, this article exposes some of the challenges inherent in the implementation of a global model of resilience. Exploring initiatives related to violence prevention in the member cities of Medellin, Cali (Colombia), Chicago (United States), and Belfast (Northern Ireland), this study will look at the practices of resilience officers, a position created by the 100RC network, and determine whether it can be considered as a new profession in the field of resilience planning. It will also use urban resilience to question the category of global cities, by suggesting that networks centered on resilience can serve as globalizing agents for “ordinary cities” (Robinson 2006). Finally, this article maintains that although the flexible and elusive definition promoted by 100RC facilitated a global circulation of the concept, its one-size-fits-all approach implied significant challenges and led in some cases to its depoliticization.

尽管在国际关系和城市规划中使用弹性已经引起了越来越多的批判性研究，但这个有争议的概念继续在关于城市发展的对话中占据突出地位。本文以洛克菲勒基金会开创的 100 个弹性城市 (100RC) 网络为例，揭示了实施全球弹性模型所固有的一些挑战。在麦德林、卡利（哥伦比亚）、芝加哥（美国）和贝尔法斯特（北爱尔兰）等成员城市探索与预防暴力相关的举措，本研究将着眼于复原力官员的实践，这是由 100RC 网络创建的职位，并确定是否可以将其视为弹性规划领域的新职业。2006 年）。最后，本文认为，尽管 100RC 提倡的灵活且难以捉摸的定义促进了这一概念的全球传播，但其一刀切的方法意味着重大挑战，并在某些情况下导致其去政治化。
