Abstract: Integrating the hard power and soft power of risk prevention and resolution to enhance urban resilience is a strategic choice to achieve urban safety and sustainable development.The soft power of a resilient city can be divided into four major elements:psychological resilience,social resilience,management resilience and cultural resilience.In the critical life cycle,soft power also has different connotations with respect to the four different objectives of "perception and preparation" during the latency period,"response and rebound" during the outbreak period,"adaptation and coexistence" during the continuation period,and "change and enhancement" during the healing period.At the present stage,the soft power of resilient cities in China has shortcomings in all the four stages of the critical life cycle,so it is necessary to build a "triangle model" including concept,subject and mechanism.In order to effectively enhance soft power,we should adhere to the combination of the hard and soft,part and whole,cooperation and coexistence,and routine training and urgent response,bringing together the efforts of the government,NGO,enterprises and citizens,adapting two-dimensional cooperation,embedded education,guided communication,balanced evaluation and other strategies.

Key words: resilient city, soft power, urban governance, resilient governance
