Abstract

This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on urban life in China, focusing on the resilience of residents in first-, second-, and third-tier cities. An online survey revealed that COVID-19 limited access to healthcare and socioeconomic activities, resulting in reduced income, unemployment, and social anxiety. However, it also increased social awareness and disaster adaptation actions. The study found that citizens in first-tier cities exhibited greater resilience than those in second-tier cities. A networked resilience framework is proposed for policy implications.
