Amsterdam and Dhaka are two cities that represent the global north and the global south respectively. Both cities are, because of climate change, prone to heavy rain that can lead to flooding. Due to the fact that global north and global south are facing different challenges when it comes to implementing urban resilience, in combination with lack understanding of how policy of urban resilience is created, it leads to question if the global north and global south differ regarding their understanding of urban resilience. The purpose of this study was therefore to compare narratives of urban resilience in Amsterdam and Dhaka to explore if the understanding of urban resilience in various documents differ between the global north and global south. Therefore, the study aimed to provide an understanding of whether who describes urban resilience is important for how urban resilience is presented. This study applied socio-ecological theory to explain whether the strategies implemented can be characterized as transformative or adaptive approach to urban resilience. Further, the study was conducted using qualitative narrative analysis. Finally, this study shows that narrative of urban resilience differs between Amsterdam and Dhaka, which indicates that the narrator has an impact on the presentation of urban resilience. The study also shows that narrative of urban resilience has an impact on which strategies are employed. Finally, power also plays an important role in crisis management.
