Abstract：Along with the evolution of urban civilization forms， urban development from the perspective of natural living organisms has gradually become an important perspective in urban studies. The right to growth and development contained in living organisms， the right to renewal and circulation， and the right to sustainable development within cities have become the theoretical base for observing urban life. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19， life in major cities around the world has suffered tremendous impacts. The overlapping of traditional crises and the sudden epidemic outbreak， the overlapping pressure of urban suspension and spatial isolation， the hedging and collision between the requirements of epidemic prevention and real needs have filled the crisis of the rights of urban development and the crisis of human rights. This crisis system breaks through the traditional boundaries of inner-city circulation， forms and amplifies traditional rights contradictions， and constitutes rights tension with the natural urban stress system. The rights tension stimulates the adaptability and stress capacity of the urban life， and the administrative system and social organizations coincidentally show their resilience and adaptability. As a result， from the perspective of safeguarding and promoting urban rights， effective risk response， policy support and resource supply are provided to stimulate the vitality of the urban life and eventually move toward urban rejuvenation and prosperity.
