Rezumat/Abstract. Contemporary European cities and regions rely on deeply interdependent critical infrastructures that have been predominantly designed for efficiency, optimization, and continuous operation rather than for resistance to shocks. Recent events, such as the major power outage in Berlin, demonstrate that these systems are vulnerable not only to natural hazards and the effects of climate change, but also to hybrid risks, technical failures, and deliberate actions. This vulnerability is significant because critical infrastructures constitute the fundamental condition for the functioning of urban life, while the absence of redundancy can transform localized incidents into systemic crises. At the same time, climate change contributes to an increased frequency and intensity of disruptive events, and geopolitical and hybrid risks introduce new and less predictable forms of exposure. Within this context, urban planning continues to treat infrastructure primarily as background support, rather than as a strategic component of spatial organization and urban resilience.
