/rɪˈzɪl.jəns ˌhʌb/
a place in a city where someone can go during a heatwave to access air conditioning, get water, use the internet etc.
Cities around the world are adopting various measures to deal with the threat of heatwaves, which are increasing in frequency and severity, and put old and infirm people at particular risk.

zoom town noun [C]
/ˈzuːm ˌtaʊn/
a town in which a large number of residents work remotely
The term “zoom town” is a play on the old term boomtown, which referred to towns and cities that experienced large growth due to oil discovery. The “zoom” in zoom town refers to the virtual conferencing software, Zoom, which many remote workers use. So instead of oil, zoom towns are communities growing due to increased remote work opportunities.

I think that “Resilience” is a noun which indicates a quality belonging to a person and should not be used referring to a place. I would suggest to use a word like “Comfort” or similar.
