Abstract: Urban resilience is one of the most debated concepts that confronts environmental, socioeconomic, and political uncertainty and risk. Decision-makers cannot deploy substantial principles of resilience in urban design practice unless they have a vivid operational definition. To form a clear definition for Resilient Urban Design (RUD) in practice, this research connects the approach of urban resilience and urban design principles. This framework includes extracted attributes from urban resilience criteria through morphological, perceptual, functional, social, economic, governance, and ecological urban design dimensions. Then, 10 academic experts in urban design and planning conducted stages of screening, validation, and analysis using the Delphi technique and Shannon method. Results reveal that criteria of Good Governance, Innovation, Diversity, Adaptive Design, Redundancy, Robustness, Social Learning, Connectivity, Legibility, Identity, and Social Capital are all incorporated in the formation of the concept of RUD. These elements imply a more profound basis to make decisions, affecting resilient built environments.
