Are you interested in whether a resilient community is a sustainable one?
Summary of the article titled A discussion of resilience and sustainability: Land use planning recover from the Canterbury earthquake sequence, New Zealand from 2015 by W.S.A. Saunders and J.S. Becker, published in the International Journal of Disaster Rick Reduction.
Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how sustainability and resilience are used within land use planning and natural hazard context. This article presents that a resilient community also needs to be sustainable partly for legislation, but also to ensure that the economic, social, cultural and environmental needs of future generations are met.
As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects:

A sustainable community needs resilience by definition to be able to bounce back from natural hazards and disasters.
Another important contributor to resilience is ensuring that communities are engaged and empowered to take part in the land use planning process so that they can effectively contribute to reducing their own risks before and after a disaster.
Recognising and accounting for a wider array of resilient factors may bring resilience closer to the concept of sustainability, and as a consequence, the goals of sustainability and resilience may become more closely aligned.

Abstract: The term ‘resilience’ is increasingly being used in a multitude of contexts. Seemingly the latest ‘buzz’ word, it can mean many things to many people, in many different situations. In the natural hazard context, the terms ‘sustainable planning’, and ‘resilience planning’ are now being used, often interchangeably. But from a natural hazard perspective, is a resilient community a sustainable one? In order to be sustainable, does a community need to be resilient? The purpose of this paper is to answer these two questions, and stimulate discussion on how the two terms are being used. The paper provides an overview of resilience and sustainability within a land use planning and natural hazard context, and discusses how they are interrelated. The New Zealand legislative requirements for resilience and sustainability are outlined, followed by the presentation of an example from the earthquake impacted city of Christchurch, New Zealand. This example outlines the planning response to the earthquakes, and the sustainable and resilient planning options being implemented. The discussion shows that a resilient community should also be a sustainable community, in order to meet legislative requirements, and – more importantly – to ensure the needs of future generations are met, economically, socially, culturally, and environmentally.
