Shanghai is closing to the Yangtze River and East China Sea，and urban natural ecosystems are fragile，in recent years，global climate change and its extreme weather brought a great threat to the urban security. Resilient cities have the capacity to undertake，recover and prevent natural disasters，so resilient city has become a hotspot in the development of urban areas. This paper constructed a evaluation system of resilient cities from the five areas of social resilience，economic resilience，ecological resilience，urban infrastructure and urban governance. The results show that the city resilience index of Shanghai has shown an upward trend in recent 10 years，the economic resilience and urban infrastructure performance have better performance，the ecological resilience has the lowest score in all evaluation fields，which reflects that the expanding urban scale has a strong impact on the urban natural ecological environment，weakened the storage capacity of city natural ecosystem. In the context of high-intensity urbanization，the regulation capacity of Shanghai’s natural ecological system become weak，urban drainage facilities are difficult to meet the development needs，and resilience renovation is difficult in high-density urban，resilient city is also facing technical challenges. In the future，the resilience of Shanghai need to be improved depends on the following points：Construction of institutional system of resilient city development，construction of distributed urban resilience facilities，developing the intelligent analysis technology of the resilient city，promoting the social participation，strengthening the coordinated development of the resilient city in the Yangtze River Delta.
