Cities　are　becoming　smarter　in　their　functions;　however,　they　are　not　necessarily　resilient　and　able　to　survive　the　impact　of　disasters.　An　integrated,　smart　and　resilient　city　is　a　quest　for　today　and　future　sustainability　that　has　been　scarcely　studied.　Therefore,　this　current　paper　develops　a　comprehensive　framework　for　re-evaluating　cities’　smartness　and　assessing　their　resilience　against　unforeseen　disruptive　events.　A　top-down　approach　is　adopted　with　an　expert’s　validation　process　and　evaluated　in　a　hypothetical　city’s　water　supply　system　to　demonstrate　its　workability.　The　study　contributes　towards　a　holistic　framework　that　includes　smartness　re-evaluation　and　resilience　assessment　components　that　can　be　used　to　ensure　the　resiliency　of　smart　cities　from　both　developed　and　developing　countries　resisting　disasters.　©　The　Author(s)　2022.
