Abstract
The advancement of industrialization and urbanization in China brings many challenges to urban management. Studying the relationship between industrial structure transformation and urban resilience has received increasing attention from scholars. In this paper, 110 prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) from 2010 to 2019 are used as samples. First, five research dimensions of urban resilience research are identified, and these are economic resilience, social resilience, environmental resilience, infrastructure resilience, and institutional resilience. Urban resilience is measured by using the entropy value method. Secondly, how industrial structural transformation affects urban resilience is investigated. It is discovered that the effect of industrial structure rationalization (TL) is better than industrial structure upgrading (TS) in promoting the improvement of urban resilience, but there is a delay between the two for economic resilience. Nevertheless, both TL and TS can promote the improvement of urban resilience. This paper focuses on the relationship between industrial structure and urban resilience and then contributes to the transformation of industrial structure and the future urban resilience of China.
