Description

Urban Resilience: Building Stronger Cities in the Face of Crisis This book provides a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of urban resilience, examining how planners are increasingly tasked with safeguarding the future of urbanised centres. Drawing on international examples and detailed case-studies, it explores the uses and misuses of resilience and offers a nuanced approach to planning activity. The book discusses the 'politics of resilience', posing fundamental questions of social and spatial justice, and highlights the need for an integrated and adaptable model for coping with risk, crisis and uncertainty. By examining the influence of resilience on urban planning, it provides essential insights for students and researchers alike. Through its analysis, Urban Resilience offers a valuable perspective on how cities can be built to withstand disruptions and thrive in the face of adversity.
