Learning from Urban Disasters: Planning for Resilient Cities
About this issue
Issue number
Summary
15 Dec 2006
The papers in this issue of Built Environment together contribute to our understanding of how planning can help reduce the vulnerability of settlements, mitigate the effects of those extreme events which will inevitably occur, and increase the ‘resilience’ of cities – their ability to recover from disaster. Resilient cities are cities built
– and rebuilt – with an awareness of natural and technological hazards and of the risks attached to these. They are also cities which foster their social networks as integral elements of their governance and as essential aids to recovery when this becomes necessary.
