Libro 12 de 16: Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City
Sinopsis
This book addresses the urgent need for re-evaluating current city planning to provide better solutions. With disasters and changing climatic conditions being a product of past developments, responding and adapting effectively to risk is inherently complex. This book explores the complex interrelation between disasters, climate change, and cities, provides an understanding on how to integrate sustainable risk reduction and adaptation into city planning - both in theory and in practice, and analyzes the role that people’s coping strategies, urban institutions, and governance can play in addressing increasing disaster risk.

Trade Paperback. Condición: Used - Very Good. Worldwide, disasters and climate change pose a serious risk to sustainable urban development, resulting in escalating human and economic costs. Consequently, city authorities and other urban actors face the challenge of integrating risk reduction and adaptation strategies into their work. However, related knowledge and expertise are still scarce and fragmented.Cities, Disaster Risk and Adaptation explores ways in which resilient cities can be 'built' and sustainable urban transformations achieved. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of urban risk reduction and adaptation planning, exploring key theoretical concepts and analysing the complex interrelations between cities, disasters and climate change. Furthermore, it provides an overview of current risk reduction and adaptation approaches taken by both city authorities and city dwellers from diverse contexts in low, middle and high income nations. Finally, the book offers a planning framework for reducing and adapting to risk in urban areas by expanding on pre-existing positive actions and addressing current shortfalls in theory and practice. The importance of a distributed urban governance system, in which institutions' and citizens' adaptive capacities can support and complement each other, is highlighted.This book takes a holistic approach; it integrates perspectives and practice from risk reduction and climate change adaptation based on a specific urban viewpoint. The text is richly supplemented with boxed case studies written by renowned academics and practitioners in the field and 'test yourself' scenarios that integrate theory into practice. Each chapter contains learning objectives, end of chapter questions, suggested further reading and web resources, as well as a wealth of tables and figures. This book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of geography, urban studies and planning, architecture, environmental studies, international development, sociology and sustainability studies. This book addresses the urgent need for re-evaluating current city planning to provide better solutions. With disasters and changing climatic conditions being a product of past developments, responding and adapting effectively to risk is inherently complex. This book explores the complex interrelation between disasters, climate change, and cities, provides an understanding on how to integrate sustainable risk reduction and adaptation into city planning - both in theory and in practice, and analyzes the role that people's coping strategies, urban institutions, and governance can play in addressing increasing disaster risk.
