在全球范围内，小型城市住区增长最快，在适应能力方面受到最大限制，但越来越多地被视为提供地方城市复原力。来自美国佛罗里达、英国西萨塞克斯和巴西圣保罗的三个较小的沿海城市及其更广泛的区域治理系统的数据被用来比较规模和部门对城市适应能力的影响。这些紧张局势是通过适应能力指数（ACI）方法的透镜来描述的。ACI是建立在结构化理论，并提出了一个替代的社会生态系统框架的分析适应。结构化阐明了机构和结构之间的相互作用，以及机构对信息流在形成适应能力和成果方面所发挥的干预作用。ACI方法显示，在每一个研究领域，适应能力的不平等在各个规模上大于在政府、私营和民间社会部门能力上。这对适应性研究具有影响，既加强了规模的重要性，又展示了结构化理论作为理解支撑适应能力的社会动态的框架的效用;以及政策相关性，特别是考虑到决策权在规模和/或补偿机制之间的重新分配，特别是对于规模较小的行为者，他们越来越多地承担了在城市制定复原力规划的成本。
Globally, it is smaller urban settlements that are growing most rapidly, are most constrained in terms of adaptive capacity but increasingly looked to for delivering local urban resilience. Data from three smaller coastal cities and their wider regional governance systems in Florida, US; West Sussex, UK and São Paulo, Brazil are used to compare the influence of scale and sector on city adaptive capacity. These tensions are described through the lens of the Adaptive Capacity Index (ACI) approach. The ACI is built from structuration theory and presents an alternative to social-ecological systems framing of analysis on adaptation. Structuration articulates the interaction of agency and structure and the intervening role played by institutions on information flow, in shaping adaptive capacity and outcomes. The ACI approach reveals inequalities in adaptive capacity to be greater across scale than across government, private and civil society sector capacity in each study area. This has implications for adaptation research both by reinforcing the importance of scale and demonstrating the utility of structuration theory as a framework for understanding the social dynamics underpinning adaptive capacity; and policy relevance, in particular considering the redistribution of decision-making power across scale and/or compensatory mechanisms, especially for lower scale actors, who increasingly carry the costs for enacting resilience planning in cities.
