In general, people want to move from rural to urban areas because there are many opportunities such as job, education and health in the cities where people migrate. This leads to the development and growth of cities. But, sometimes people have to make forced migration or they enter the country illegally. If these migrations get out of control, the city will be adversely affected such as crime rate, unemployment, air, land and water pollution. If these problems are increased, it disrupts social…

In recent researches, the latest definition of urban resilience…
