dc.description.abstractThis paper assesses the resilience of cities in the Nile Delta coastal area with regard to sea level rise, focusing on inundation. By integrating multiple physical and socioeconomic factors that determine urban resilience, this index highlights variations in resilience between urban centers. Levels of resilience are related to levels of physical vulnerability and varied socioeconomic conditions: cities are not single entities, they form a “system of cities.” A resilient system has key assets distributed so they are not all affected by an event at any one time (locational diversity), and have different ways to meet given needs (functional diversity).en
