1. Introduction Considering escalating climate change effects, and heightened disaster occurrences, there is an urgent need for sustainable and resilient infrastructure, aligning with various United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (Hendricks et al., 2018; Yigitcanlar & Dur, 2017). This study's relevance is underscored by its alignment with SDGs (Boakye et al., 2018; United Nations, 2015), especially SDG 9 (focusing on resilient infrastructure and innovation), SDG 11 (emphasizing sustainable urban spaces) ( Goal 11 | Department of Economic and Social Affairs , n.d.), and SDG 13 (addressing climate change) (National Infrastructure Advisory Council, 2010) and (Griggs et al., 2013). Globally, there is a spotlight on infrastructure resilience. Initiatives like Canada's Action Plan for Critical Infrastructure (2021-2023), the EU's Critical Entities Resilience Directive (2022), and Australia's Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (2018, amended in 2022) recognize and stress the importance of resilience across sectors. Our study integrates into this global conversation, aiming to elevate urban ecosystem resilience through the NETOBRA platform (Rezvani et al., 2021, 2022).The notion of resilience, defined as a system's ability to endure, recover, and adapt to shocks, has gained prominence, especially in urban planning and construction sectors due to rising climate challenges. Urban resilience is categorized into four phases: Avoidance (proactively minimizing threats using climate projections in planning ( Rezvani & Gomes, 2021), Endurance (building capacity to face shocks), Recovery (swift post-shock recovery ( Rezvani, 2021), and Adaptability (learning and adapting post-event). International standards, ISO 31000:2018 (Risk Management) and ISO 55000:2014 series (Asset Management), offer guidance for resilience enhancement. The former focuses on systematic risk management (ISO 31000:2018; ISO 55000:2014; Rezvani et al., 2023) while the latter emphasizes efficient asset management to meet performance standards. In addition, Geographic Information System (GIS) stands out as an essential tool for urban resilience, providing spatial vulnerability insights (Gerges et al., 2022), integrating diverse data, and enabling risk visualization (Narjabadifam et al., 2021; Parizi et al., 2022). Given climate complexities, a data-driven approach, like integrating GIS with ISO standards, is imperative for concrete urban resilience measures (Limones et al., 2020; Oliazadeh et al., 2021; S. M. H. S. Rezvani, Almeida, & Falcão, 2023). GIS's role in consolidating diverse data sources enhances urban resilience visualization (Schaefer et al., 2020) and helps planners comprehend vulnerabilities and strategies effectively (Narjabadifam et al., 2021; Rezvani, Almeida, et al., 2023). All these insights lay the groundwork for understanding NETOBRA's approach in enhancing urban The Scopus advanced search string filters research articles related to urban resilience and climate change, focusing on those using GIS and mapping, relevant to the construction industry, and specific to Portugal or municipalities. The search also ensures the articles are in English, published in academic journals, and excludes those from agriculture, biochemistry, and medicine. The Scopus advanced search string is as follows: (TITLE-ABS-KEY ( "urban resilience" OR "climate change" ) AND ( "GIS" OR "Geographic Information System*" OR "GIS Analysis" OR "Mapping" ) AND ( "construction industry" OR "AECO" OR "Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations" OR "data-driven decision making" OR "risk management" OR "asset management" ) AND ( "Portugal" OR "municipalities" ) ) AND ( EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "AGRI" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "BIOC" ) OR EXCLUDE ( SUBJAREA , "MEDI" ) ) AND ( LIMIT-TO ( PUBSTAGE , "final" ) ) AND ( LIMIT-TO ( LANGUAGE , "English" ) ) AND ( LIMIT-TO ( SRCTYPE , "j" ) ) Data from 2008 to 2023 reveals a rising interest in urban resilience and climate change. Until 2015, publications were limited, but a notable increase began in 2019, highlighting the growing global awareness of climate change and the need for urban resilience (Duarte et al., 2022). Most published works are in the fields of Environmental Science, Social Sciences, and Earth and Planetary Sciences, showcasing a multidisciplinary approach to the subject. resilience ( Rezvani, 2023). 2.
