Urban Resilience and Technological Integration: A Case Study on Post-Pandemic Recovery in New York City (2024)

This study investigates structural barriers and systemic gaps in community engagement, funding accessibility, and technological integration within urban resilience frameworks, particularly in post-pandemic recovery contexts. Analyzing the role of community-based organizations, the research identifies operational constraints, including limited administrative capacity and resource fragmentation, which inhibit long-term planning and implementation. It further explores the disproportionate impact of public policy on marginalized populations, emphasizing the need for decentralized governance, responsive funding mechanisms, and digital infrastructure to improve coordination, transparency, and policy responsiveness. Findings highlight the necessity of embedding community organizations into formal governance models to enhance disaster preparedness and strengthen social infrastructure.
