This study develops an intersectional framework for gender-sensitive urban resilience policymaking to address structural inequalities and advance sustainable, equitable cities. A systematic literature review covering 1995–2024 was conducted using thematic analysis of 117 peer-reviewed articles sourced from Scopus, Google Scholar, and related databases, guided by the PRISMA framework. From an initial pool of 263 studies, rigorous inclusion criteria ensured relevance, resulting in a refined dataset for in-depth analysis. Key themes identified include institutional factors for gender mainstreaming, gender-based urban infrastructure, equity and inclusion, intersectional climate justice, and participatory governance. Sub-themes emphasise inclusive governance, gender-responsive infrastructure, and intersectional considerations related to gender, race, and class. The findings reveal that women face heightened vulnerabilities in crises due to caregiving responsibilities, restricted mobility, and unequal access to resources—conditions often exacerbated by gender-blind policies. The study advocates transformative, feminist approaches to urban resilience grounded in intersectionality and participatory governance. It highlights the importance of gender-responsive budgeting, inclusive infrastructure, and community engagement in advancing safety and accessibility. Furthermore, it cautions against Western-centric assumptions, urging context-sensitive policymaking that ensures global applicability. Overall, the proposed framework offers a roadmap for inclusive and resilient urban futures, contributing to both academic discourse and practical policymaking for sustainable cities.
