Résumé	A smart city index is a composite indicator that scores and ranks cities on how 'smart' they are across several dimensions — typically economy, people, governance, mobility, environment and living. Each dimension gathers many raw indicators that are normalised onto a common scale, weighted, and aggregated first into dimension scores and then into a single overall number. Prominent examples such as the European smart-cities ranking of Giffinger and colleagues and the IESE Cities in Motion Index made this six-axis framing standard, turning a sprawling, contested concept into a benchmark cities can be compared on.	Urban resilience assessment evaluates how well a city can absorb, adapt to, and recover from shocks such as floods, earthquakes and pandemics and from chronic stresses such as poverty and ageing infrastructure. Most assessments are framework-driven composite indices: they define resilience dimensions — infrastructural, social, economic, ecological and institutional — gather indicators for each, normalise and weight them, and aggregate to a resilience score or profile. Because, as Meerow, Newell and Stults documented, 'urban resilience' is defined in conflicting ways across the literature, every assessment must first take a position on what resilience means, for whom, and against which disturbances.
