Considering the rapid urbanization policies seen in many parts of the world and the increasing consequences of climate change, it is seen that cities are exposed to the risk of environmental, social, economic and political disruption and sudden shocks, stress and disasters. In recent years, the concept of resilience has begun to be used by different disciplines in order to find solutions to these problems. Although the term resilience has been used frequently in recent days, it is observed that the lack of a clear definition creates uncertainty in urban policies and academic studies. In order to eliminate these uncertainties, this study aims to present different perspectives by relating them to the sustainability of cities by conducting a comprehensive literature review focusing on the concept of urban resilience. City Resilience Index prepared by the Rockefeller Foundation, obtained as a result of the literature review, was used as a framework study in the article. As a result, targets were determined and indicators were created by creating an Urban Resilience Indicators framework study specifically for the city of Tokat, a medium-sized city chosen as a field study. A road map and program have been proposed to ensure resilience and sustainability in cities. It is aimed that the urban resilience conceptual framework, urban resilience indicators and road map created in this study will contribute positively to the literature and be developed and used in policies to be implemented by central and local governments.
