Short summary
This study constructs an indicator-based composite framework and assesses urban resilience to typhoons in China's seven major river basins. The results verified the spatial heterogeneity, and the calculated resilience score in certain circumstances did not match the strength of city economy. The analysis is helpful for the government to enhance capability of comprehensive resilience in specific dimensions and provides a reference in probing resilience assessment confronting typhoon disasters.
