Abstract: Abstract As the global call to build sustainable cities becomes louder, the community resilience concept is also fast becoming popular in the global scientific and policy discourse. To put this concept in perspective, a lot of methodologies have been developed in the last two decades. This paper critically reviews 12 selected global community resilience assessment tools using content analysis. The results show that none of the selected tools use big data for their assessments, they mainly rely on literature review, stakeholders’ input, expert opinions and field testing. The results also show that the selected tools are mostly formulated using top-down approaches and only half of them provide action plans after their resilience assessment. Most of the tools also do not account for cross-scale relationships and temporal dynamism. The study concludes that new community resilience assessment tools need to employ iterative processes, encourage participation, and incorporate the use of big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence to take care of spatiotemporal dynamism.
