The 2025 International Conference on Resilient City and Safety Engineering (ICRCSE 2025) was successfully held in Nanjing, China, from June 6-8, 2025. As the global urban landscape faces escalating challenges from climate change, aging infrastructure, and emerging safety risks, ICRCSE 2025 provided a timely and dynamic academic platform for researchers, engineers, and policy experts to explore integrated strategies for building urban resilience and advancing safety engineering in complex environments.

This year's conference attracted 100 participants from over 5 countries and regions, reflecting the increasing international attention to resilience science and engineering risk mitigation. A total of 101 submissions were received, covering a broad array of research domains ranging from technical resilience in urban systems to cutting-edge safety technologies. After thorough peer review, 43 high-quality papers were accepted for presentation and publication, demonstrating methodological rigor, theoretical innovation, and practical relevance.

A defining feature of ICRCSE 2025 was the remarkable diversity and depth of its keynote presentations. Assoc. Prof. Jiwei Wen from Shijiazhuang Tiedao University delivered an in-depth technical analysis of trenchless pipe jacking in underground infrastructure systems, revealing the complex interaction between soil and structural elements through real-world engineering cases. His talk highlighted the importance of predictive modeling and adaptive design in subsurface urban development. Prof. Zakiah Ahmad of Universiti Teknologi MARA offered a compelling perspective on the structural viability of bamboo as a resilient and sustainable construction material. Her research underscored the intersection of environmental stewardship and structural innovation. Assoc. Prof. Nor Atiah Ismail from Universiti Putra Malaysia presented landscape-based flood mitigation strategies rooted in nature-based solutions, illustrating how ecological integration can strengthen the adaptive capacities of urban environments facing hydrological risks.

The thematic scope of the conference was broad and interdisciplinary. Discussions ranged from urban infrastructure resilience, ecological security, and climate-responsive design to risk management systems, safety engineering technologies, and the digital transformation of urban safety monitoring. Topics such as intelligent transportation, smart energy systems, urban disaster prevention, and tunnel engineering innovation revealed a shared concern for building urban systems that are not only technically sound but also ecologically adaptive and socially inclusive.

Through its scholarly exchange and interdisciplinary dialogue, ICRCSE 2025 advanced the discourse on how cities can prepare for, withstand, and recover from both chronic stresses and acute shocks. The insights generated by this conference is expected to inform future research trajectories, engineering practices, and policymaking aimed at creating safer and more resilient urban environments.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all the keynote speakers, contributing authors, peer reviewers, session chairs, and attendees for their invaluable contributions to the success of ICRCSE 2025.
