Abstract: With the frequent occurrence of exogenous shock events such as natural disasters and extreme weather, building urban resilience has become an important goal for governments worldwide. Based on data from 254 cities in China from 2013 to 2021, this paper measures urban resilience through the entropy method. Furthermore, taking the supply chain digitalization pilot policy as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper explores the impact of supply chain digitalization (SCD) on urban resilience. The results indicate that SCD promotes urban resilience, enhancing cities' ability to resist and recover from risks. Specifically, the promotional effect of SCD on urban resilience is stronger in cities with better digital development, higher administrative levels, and those located in the eastern and middle regions. Additionally, mechanism analysis reveals that SCD strengthens urban resilience by enhancing industrial chain resilience, improving green total factor productivity, and stimulating innovation. This study provides empirical evidence for the contribution of SCD to urban resilience and offers policy implications for improving urban resilience in developing countries.
