Rapid urbanization in emerging economies has intensified the need for resilient urban design strategies capable of addressing socio-economic, environmental, and infrastructural challenges. This study evaluates the resilience performance of mixed-use development models by examining four major development types: compact vertical, horizontal integrated, transit-oriented, and hybrid mixed-use developments. A comprehensive resilience evaluation framework was developed incorporating social, economic, environmental, and infrastructural dimensions. Multiple indicators including accessibility, land-use diversity, green infrastructure, economic adaptability, and transport connectivity were analyzed using composite resilience indexing, correlation analysis, and comparative statistical methods. The results revealed that transit-oriented and hybrid mixed-use developments exhibited higher overall resilience performance, while compact vertical developments showed relatively lower environmental resilience. Economic resilience emerged as the strongest contributor to overall resilience, followed by environmental and infrastructural resilience. The findings also indicated that hybrid mixed-use developments demonstrated more consistent resilience outcomes, whereas transit-oriented developments showed high performance with moderate variability. The study highlights that integrated mixed-use planning enhances adaptability, sustainability, and long-term urban performance. These findings provide important insights for planners and policymakers to design resilient urban environments that support sustainable development and inclusive growth in rapidly evolving urban systems.
