Abstract	Faced with the intensification of natural hazards linked to climate change and massive urbanization, many cities face a delicate question: how can they rapidly cope with enormous, unexpected challenges in the context of resource tension? The new challenges require urban infrastructures and social and economic organizations to adapt to levels of risk beyond those for which the city was designed. Responding to these new challenges requires the development of new concepts and tools. This article presents two powerful urban concepts that can help prepare the city for the intensification of natural hazards: resilient and smart cities. This article explains how the smart city concept can enhance cities’ resilience to natural hazards. It shows that combining data on the city with data on natural disasters enables us to better understand urban systems’ responses to natural hazards, identify malfunctions, and take the necessary measures to strengthen urban resilience. © 2024 The Author(s).
