Santos and São Vicente Estuarine Complex (SSEC) is a densely populated coastal area that houses the main port in Latin America and the most prominent Brazilian industrial complex. Irregular occupations in preservation areas result in a disorderly increase in population, with negative social and environmental impacts. We evaluated the average annual growth of 74 slums occurring in this area and variations in water quality from 2005 to 2018. We monitor the growth of the occupied areas and estimate their respective populations. The average annual population growth was over 6% per year (p.a.). Invasions of new areas and verticalisation of already occupied areas represent 85% of the growth seen. The monthly polluting loads exceeded 450 tonnes or 2,086,000 m3, compromising the waters and local and regional public health. We strongly recommend re-urbanising the area using the resource savings caused by water loss to reduce the risks of ecosystem degradation, damage to health and disease spread.

The aim of this paper is to present a proposal for a research methodology in relation to the evaluation of urban resilience and its verification in selected Polish cities. The scope of the article was supplemented by conclusions drawn from the application of the proposed method in the processes of strategic diagnosis and monitoring of cities. The proposed method for the evaluation ofurban resilience assumes that a city is an open adaptive system, consisting of the attributes of resilience and vulnerability whose evaluation is a part of the strategic diagnosis leading to the identification of measures to strengthen its resilience.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja propozycji metodyki badawczej dotyczącej oceny prężności miejskiej, w tym jej wstępna weryfikacja dla wybranych miast w Polsce. Uzupełnienie w tym zakresie stanowi sformułowanie wniosków odnoszących się do zastosowania analizowanej metodyki badawczej w procesie strategicznej diagnozy i monitoringu miast. Proponowana metodyka oceny prężności miejskiej zakłada, że miasto stanowi otwarty system adaptacyjny, składający się z atrybutów prężności i wrażliwości. Monitorowanie ich wartości jest elementem diagnozy strategicznej prowadzącym do identyfikacji działań wzmacniających prężność miasta.
