Description

As urbanization accelerates globally, the frequency of urban-centered disasters like floods, earthquakes, storms, and conflicts continues to rise. These events cause significant damage to lives, livelihoods, and the built environment, with densely populated areas facing much higher risks than rural regions. This book examines how these disasters impact urban centers and the specific vulnerabilities faced by poor urban dwellers. While aid agencies and urban professionals attempt to adapt to these changing conditions, outdated models and practices often prevent effective engagement. This text addresses these challenges by drawing directly from real-world experiences in the Philippines, Chile, India, and Thailand. It provides a necessary look at new dimensions of disaster resilience within the built environment, offering perspectives shaped by international practice to help professionals navigate the complexities of modern urban disaster management.
