Description

As cities grow more crowded and high-rise buildings reach new heights, urban centers face increasing vulnerabilities. The expansion of technology and the rising volume of hazardous cargo create complex challenges for modern metropolitan security. This book, part of the NATO Science for Peace and Security Series C, addresses these growing risks head-on. Based on a NATO advanced research workshop, this work provides a comprehensive overview of current threats and necessary countermeasures. It serves as a vital inventory of research areas required to improve urban safety and stability. By examining lessons learned from 9/11 and subsequent research, the text offers a broad spectrum of subjects relevant to environmental security and urban planning. This resource is designed for those looking to understand how cities can better prepare for modern threats. It moves beyond simple observations to identify specific areas where scientific and strategic progress is needed to protect dense populations and complex infrastructure.
