Digital intelligence-driven governance paradigms of urban social and economic resilience

Urbanization intensifies cities' vulnerability to shocks like climate disasters, economic crises, and pandemics, making resilience critical for sustainable development. Digital intelligence—AI, IoT, blockchain, big data—transforms urban governance through data-driven decisions, real-time monitoring, and citizen engagement. This study analyses 232 peer-reviewed articles via bibliometric mapping and qualitative cluster analysis. Findings reveal three thematic clusters: technological innovations, economic resilience, and social resilience. Digital tools enhance robustness but risk excluding marginalized groups. Policy-technology alignment is paramount, yet gaps exist in equity frameworks, cultural embeddedness, and ethical governance. With 55% global urbanization (70% by 2050), integrating digital intelligence is indispensable for inclusive, adaptive cities. The findings are conducive to promoting inclusive digital resilience through multi-stakeholder co-design and algorithmic transparency.
