Abstract The smart city is an emerging dominant urban development paradigm worldwide. Many local governments are using technology solutions to address their challenges. The growing and disproportionate threat of climate-induced disasters is posing multiple risks to cities. Resilience building is a complex phenomenon and it has been increasingly featured in policy agenda, specifically for urban risk management. This paper explores the resilience strategy within the smart city paradigm. The focus is more on how cities can build the resilience of vulnerable communities using smart governance and digital innovations. The three different case studies from different geographies discussed in this paper highlight possible solutions with justification for linkage and integration of smart city approaches and urban resilience. However, each city is unique, requiring local innovation and appropriate technology solutions. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
