Abstract
New pattern urbanization, which is explored and developed in China for improving urban resilience and reducing urban vulnerability. Urban resilience is a comprehensive ability of a city for dealing with the uncertainty risk disasters through a combination of urban economy, urban engineering, urban society and urban ecology. When the city system and its subsystems have certain resilience in development, it will promote sustainable development. How to assess urban resilience? What is the spatial-temporal law on the development of urban resilience? These answers have an important practical significance for promoting the construction of the modern urbanization and sustainable development of cities and regions. Based on the above, this study constructed the measurement system on urban resilience, chose 21 cities of Sichuan province in China as a case, and analyzed the spatial-temporal law on the development of urban resilience empirically. The conclusions are as follows: The level of urban resilience was on the rise, and the characteristics of spatial heterogeneity on urban resilience were presented, and the spatial agglomeration degree increased gradually. The resilience of urban economic system, urban engineering system, and urban ecological system revealed a cluster characteristic in Sichuan province, but urban social system was not obvious.

Urban resilience is a comprehensive ability of a city for dealing with the uncertainty risk disasters through a combination of urban economy, urban engineering, urban society and urban ecology
Urban resilience is the ability of an urban system, urban community, or urban society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, and recover from the effects of a hazard promptly and efficiently (Jha, Miner, & Stanton-Geddes, 2013)
Summary
In the process of social and economic development, city faces the pressure of population concentration, resource consumption and environmental pollution. Urban resilience includes four components, that are infrastructural, institutional, economical, and social. The practice of urban construction in advanced countries shows that resilient city construction is a more effective way to do with potential threats, such as flood, drought, terrorist activity and air pollution (Jha, Miner, & Stanton-Geddes, 2013). The resilient city is a city that has the capacity to undertake, recover and prevent various potential impacts or shocks on urban engineering, economic, social and environmental. Resilient city has been a hotspot in the development of urban areas (Pu & Qiu, 2016). China is facing the pressure of urbanization, and how to improve urban resilience and urban sustainable development, to improve socio-economic progress (Pu & Qiu, 2015; Suárez et al, 2016). What is the spatial-temporal law on the development of urban resilience? We will establish an evaluation system of urban resilience; identify the spatial-temporal features of urban resilience of Sichuan province
