This research presents the theoretical study of urban resilience and its characteristics and the concept of the resilient city in addition to studying the framework of the city's resilience and its goals and indicators. An analytical study is also undertaken in form of a comparative analysis of three city examples that face similar risks to that of Egypt. Finally, a summary is to have a methodology that is formulated to solve the problems and ways of dealing with them, especially economic and social development (the socio- economic aspects of resilience) in an analytical framework. Through which recommendations are targeting the most important urban elements of the city's poor areas, which can be given to develop and advance them.
