我们迫切需要承认生态现实与过去构建社会的方式之间的脱节，就好像它与生态隔离一样。城市是共同的基础：一个无休止的蓬勃发展，经常竞争的空间，机构和人的家园。“为城市韧性治理”汇集了研究，这些研究考虑了将社会生态韧性概念化和实施为激进社会变革过程所固有的意义和可能性，并为连接这些城市叙事提供了透镜。然后，城市被认为是一个高度复杂的场所，拥有多样化的社会和生态现实以及想象力潜力。《特刊》挑战了过去对城市进行秩序化和限制的方式，同时建立了对城市的最新解释，即与加强连通性有关的相互交织的过程--无论是生态系统还是社交网络。这些文章提出了四个主题：确定行动的位置;利用规模来询问和促进变革;承认权力关系的不对称性，以便把重点放在对变革至关重要的社会正义上;以及结合当地知识和记忆的催化力来协助这种变革。这些论文将复原力和社会生态复原力的概念应用于他们现有的城市研究，主要是询问这种透镜是否有助于我们更多地了解案例研究中发生的事情。总体而言，研究结果表明了政策和项目的长处和短处，在某些情况下，还表明了鼓励为未来研究制定社会生态复原力框架的潜在变革过程。
There is urgency afoot to acknowledge the disconnection between ecological realities and the persistence of past ways of constructing the social, as if it is in isolation from the ecological. The urban is the common ground: an endlessly burgeoning, frequently contested home to spaces, institutions and people. ‘Governing for urban resilience’ brings together research that considers the meaningfulness and possibilities inherent in conceptualising and implementing social-ecological resilience as a process for radical social change and offering a lens for connecting these urban narratives. The urban is then acknowledged as a site of heightened complexity, harbouring diverse social and ecological realities and imaginative potential. The Special Issue challenges past ways of ordering and limiting the city, while building on more recent interpretations of it as interwoven processes associated with enhancing connectivity – whether ecosystems or social networks. Four themes emerge from the articles: locating action; using scale to interrogate and facilitate change; acknowledging the asymmetry of power relations in order to focus on social justice as critical to change; and incorporating local knowledge and the catalytic force of memory to assist that change. The papers have applied the ideas of resilience and social-ecological resilience to their existing urban research, asking, in the main, whether this lens assists us to know more about what has occurred in the case studies. Overall, the outcomes suggest the strengths and weaknesses of policies and projects and in some cases the potentially transformative processes that encourage a social-ecological resilience framing for future research.
