Abstract
The relationship between people, environment, and infrastructure is an important issue that must be solved in the construction of resilient cities in the future, which can be derived from four dimensions, such as safe resilience of urban personnel, safe resilience of urban facilities, the level of urban risk control, and urban safety investment. This paper conducted an empirical study on this issue by selecting two Chinese cities of different sizes, one megacity being Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, and the other being Shaoxing, a small prefecture-level city. Referring to the triangle theory of safe resilience, and National Standard of China “Guide for safe resilient city evaluation” (GB/T 40947-2021), an evaluation index system for safe resilient cities is established. The following conclusions are drawn: The three factors of human-environment-infrastructure must be considered as a whole in the construction of resilient cities; Small cities should pay more attention to the development of people-oriented “soft resilience”; Urban infrastructure resilience is more important for megacities than for small cities; It is the optimal strategy to construct the safe resilient cities by strengthening urban emergency management system in a holistic manner, whether for megacities or small cities.
