Abstract: in the article, the authors consider it as the ability of urban systems to overcome natural or man-made crises as a concept that mutually complements the concept of sustainable development. In the Arctic, characterized by increased vulnerability of both natural and economic systems, the application of the concept of resilience is especially relevant. The article analyzes 19 quantitative indicators of 27 Arctic settlements of the Russian Federation according to the following subsystems: economic specialization, life support and utilities, socio-cultural, natural-ecological, administrative and managerial. The cluster analysis identified seven stable groups of cities that consistently demonstrate similarities with each other under various analysis options. Overcoming crises in city development requires the simultaneous fulfillment of the conditions of resilience in different subsystems of urban development: the weakness of any of these subsystems can lead to the collapse of the entire system as a whole, therefore assessing resilience requires an integrated approach. Russia declares ambitious plans for the development of its Arctic zone, but it is inevitably associated with environmental risks, for which the Russian Arctic is not always ready. These are climate change, pollution of sea waters with oil and chemical runoff, and degradation of ecosystems. The idea that plans for the development of the Arctic region and, first of all, the development of offshore deposits should be reconsidered taking into account environmental hazards, resonates not only among environmental organizations, but also among economists. The unfavorable economic and foreign policy environment is the right moment to do this.
Key words: sustainable development, Arctic cities, socio-ecological systems, the Arctic, climate change, oil spills, international environmental cooperation.
