• Incorporating resilience requirements into built environment systems’ is crucial. • The most common built environment resilience qualities have been investigated. • A grouping matrix is proposed for the qualities based on the influencing factors. • Dimensions, relevant capacities, and boundaries of the qualities are discussed. • The conceptual framework of resilient built environment performance is plotted. The exposure of built environment systems to climate-related disturbances increases over time. As such, the resilience of the built environment against climate change shocks and stresses has increasingly become a concern on the local, national, and global levels. Therefore, there is a need to measure the impact, build coping and adaptive capacities, and improve the functionality of the vulnerable systems. In addition, the systems must adopt the minimum resilience functioning methods and practices. Hence, this paper reviewed the most common resilience qualities (RQs), capacities, and dimensions of the built environment and their interdependencies. The research method is based on analyzing the relevant peer-reviewed journal papers published in renowned international journal papers and databases during the past two decades. The scope of the study is narrowed down by following specific guidelines to ensure a proper selection of up-to-date research articles to provide a precise understanding of the research progress on the built environment RQs. It provides an overview of the different definitions and indicators in which RQs have been applied to built environment planning, analysis, and design, emphasizing the various dimensions and relevant capacities. The study concludes that integrated resilience indicators, planning, and design methodology are crucial for incorporating RQs into the framework that influences the built environment. The built environment RQs demonstrated by this study include reflectivity ( Rf ), robustness ( Rb ), redundancy ( Rd ), flexibility ( Fx ), resourcefulness ( Rs ), rapidity ( Rp ), i...
