Abstract
This paper examines the New-type Urbanization pilot policy (NTUP) and its influence on urban resilience, offering insights into how NTUP fosters a human-centric, sustainably coordinated, and inclusive model of urban development distinct from traditional approaches. This model plays a key role in enhancing urban capacities to confront economic, social, and environmental challenges, aiding in building more resilient cities. Notably, existing literature scarcely explores the relationship between NTUP and urban resilience, marking a significant gap this research aims to fill. Utilizing a multi-period DID model to examine panel data across 281 Chinese cities from 2006 to 2020, this study delves into NTUP's direct effects on urban resilience, its mechanisms, and spatial spillover boundaries. Findings reveal that: (1) NTUP enhances urban resilience, confirmed by a series of robustness tests. (2) NTUP significantly improves economic, infrastructure, and institutional resilience, while its influence on social resilience is minimal, and it detrimentally impacts ecological resilience. (3) Urban technology innovation and economic agglomeration are the primary mechanisms through which NTUP promotes urban resilience. (4) NTUP has a positive spatial spillover effect on the resilience of neighboring cities up to 350 km, with this effect shifting from a "radiation effect" to a "siphoning effect" as geographical distance increases.
