This paper presents a pioneering systematic literature review (SLR) that scrutinizes the increasingly pivotal role of resilience in manufacturing strategy (MS), a perspective notably absents in previous literature. In the wake of disruptive events, our study provides an exhaustive analysis of resilience within MS, employing a meticulous multi-stage process encompassing article collection, critical evaluation, and both bibliometric and content analyses. Utilizing Atlas.ti © for an enhanced analytical depth, the study distinctly maps current trends and pinpoints previously unexplored gaps in this research area. Post-2020, a surge in academic focus on MS and resilience is evident, and our analysis brings forth critical research domains such as the formulation of theoretical resilience frameworks and the refinement of strategic resilience in manufacturing. The study accentuates the necessity of agility and responsiveness in manufacturing, emphasizing the integration of uncertainty into decision-making processes. It also highlights the instrumental role of technological innovation, particularly the adoption of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies, in reinforcing resilience. Through a detailed content analysis, our research systematically categorizes findings into approaches to resilience, resilience components, and MS resilience. This provides a structured and comprehensive understanding of the subject, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach that amalgamates strategic management, advanced technologies, and insights into cultural and organizational dynamics. This holistic perspective is vital for shaping manufacturing systems that are resilient and adaptable in a volatile global context. As a foundational reference, this study marks a significant leap in research, setting the stage for future endeavors to develop robust, adaptable manufacturing practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Active mobility projects can potentially initiate paradigm shifts in population and urban planning decision-makers. This paper aims to conduct a social cost-benefit analysis of an active mobility project in a Colombian city. The increase of physical activity, reduction of CO2 emissions, and traffic crashes were measured in an area with suitable slopes to promote bicycles for commuting. A social cost-benefit ratio of 1.14 was found, with physical activity and road safety as the most important outcomes of the active mobility infrastructure. Furthermore, a big room for the increase and promotion of cycling as a mode of transport is addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 15-minute city aims to decentralize the urban economic poles to provide local services to its entire population. The objective of this research is to geographically determine the economic poles in an intermediate Latin American city and evaluate their geospatial coverage. This research develops a geographic accessibility model to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution of the economic poles, considering the socioeconomic stratum of households in Manizales (Colombia). Moreover, we apply a spatial regression model of pedestrian trips. Results show that proximity to urban economic poles is directly correlate with pedestrian trips. In Manizales, only 35.8% of the population reaches its closest economic pole within a 15-minute walk; moreover, accessibility inequities mainly affecting lower-income families were detected. The 15-minute city approach poses a high potential to contribute to urban spatial justice to the extent that urban planners facilitate the growth of economic activities and services in neighborhoods, with special attention to the less privileged.
