Description

Natural disasters have historically impacted the lives of millions in China. This scholarly work from the Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia series examines how the Chinese state responds to these large-scale events. By focusing on the metropolis of Tianjin in northern China, the book provides a detailed look at disaster management and recovery efforts during a transformative period. The text analyzes how the city navigated three major catastrophes: the great famine of 1958-61, the great flood of 1963, and the great earthquake of 1976. It explores the specific policies and measures implemented to prevent disasters, mitigate their immediate consequences, and lead reconstruction efforts in the aftermath. This study offers a deep look into the administrative and social responses to environmental crises in a major urban center.
