Urban resilience involves both communities and city governments in addressing problems or vulnerabilities to subsequently adapt, anticipate, and transform the challenges into opportunities for improvement. The issues stem from natural resources, human resources, and infrastructures, including waste management, climate change and water, as well as food supply. Resolving these problems requires active involvement between government organizations and other stakeholders rather than individual actions. This includes: (1) AlterSmart Cities: implementing smart city concepts using technology for more efficient water, food, and energy resource management, (2) urban agriculture: optimizing rooftop spaces in urban residential areas for cultivating plants applicable to local area's potential, (3) technological innovation: from upstream to downstream, using Internet of Things and artificial intelligence to monitor and manage water resources, energy, and food supply chains, (4) community participation and sociopreneur: enhancing community involvement and enterprise-based approach in resource management, including the development of sustainable policies and business, (5) public awareness: promoting the implementation of policies and practices that support sustainable resource management in urban areas. In addition, ensuring urban resilience regarding water, energy, and food requires global and comprehensive mapping or an integrated urban roadmap related to natural resources, human resources, infrastructure (modern technology), smart farming innovations, and policies that address urban needs, thereby, ensuring urban resilience is achieved in an integrated and sustainable manner. © 2026 Elsevier Inc.
