Against the backdrop of accelerating urbanization and frequent natural disasters worldwide, the concept of resilient cities offers an important paradigm for urban systems to systematically address disaster challenges. As an essential carrier of inclusive urban development, barrier-free design in the built environment has a coupling relationship with resilient cities in terms of spatial planning mechanisms and dynamic adaptation of facilities. Although the concept of resilient cities provides a new perspective for dealing with urban complexity and uncertainty, its application in the field of barrier-free environment design remains to be further explored. This paper takes the theory of resilient cities as the core theoretical framework and focuses on the optimization paths and strategy innovations of barrier-free design in the built environment, aiming to systematically address key issues such as insufficient spatial accessibility and inadequate facility adaptability in current barrier-free environment construction. Based on this, this paper introduces the theory of resilient cities into the field of barrier-free design and proposes innovative strategies from four dimensions: spatial planning, facility upgrading, technological aspects, and social participation, to explore optimization plans for urban barrier-free environment construction. Future research can further expand the exploration of differentiated strategies for barrier-free design in different urban contexts to promote the continuous development of this field.
