The purpose of this literature review is to capture a wide variety of documents pertaining to city resilience peer reviews to provide details of academic and non-academic perspectives in this emerging field. Using the 10 essentials as a framework for analysis, the literature review presents an inquiry into how these essentials are understood and utilised for city resilience peer reviews, and the implications this has on policy, practice and the usability of these concepts. Insights into the ways in which city resilience is conceptualised, and the gaps and implications that arise as a result of this, are also reported. In turn, this supports evidence-based learning, and promotes the theoretical underpinning of policies and plans relating to urban resilience.

Drawing on a variety of literatures supports a comprehensive approach to integrating concerns relating to the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, Sustainable Development Goals, and urban resilience. Additionally, this review contributes to the nascent field of city peer reviews, providing foundations for further research, and supporting applicable findings for urban policy makers and stakeholders.
