Towards Smart and Resilient City Networks: Assessing the Network Structure and Resilience in Chengdu–Chongqing Smart Urban Agglomeration by Rui Li, Yuhang Wang, Zhiyue Zhang, Yi Lu

“…The main conclusions are as follows: (1) subnetworks exhibit a ‘core/periphery’ structure with a significant evolution trend, particularly the metropolitan area integration degree of capital cities has significantly improved; (2) the technology network is the most resilient but was the most affected by COVID-19, while the population and information networks are the least resilient, resulting from poor hierarchy, disassortativity, and agglomeration; (3) network resilience can be improved through system optimization and node enhancement. …”
