To date,little social science understanding has been developed about what it would mean to strategically build resilience in the context of such rich interdependencies between so- cial,technical and natural worlds.We argue that shifts in strategies to deal with urban crises marks a turn from the politics of urgency,characteristic of crisis management,towards a gov- ernance of preparedness,characterised by strategies to build urban resilience.Social science needs to develop research agendas that critically engage with different understandings of resili- ence and the challenges of building resilience across different scales of urban governance.
