Resilient Cities

"Resilient Cities" explores how urban planning can enable cities to withstand and recover from escalating threats like natural disasters, climate change, and economic instability. The book emphasizes that strategic foresight and innovative planning are key to transforming vulnerable urban centers into thriving communities. For example, resilient infrastructure design can mitigate the impact of natural disasters, while diversified economies can buffer cities against economic downturns. The book argues for a holistic, integrated approach to urban planning, essential for building robust and sustainable urban environments, and not just about bouncing back to a pre-disaster state. It examines specific strategies for disaster mitigation, climate change adaptation, and fostering economic stability, utilizing case studies of cities worldwide. The book progresses in three parts: introducing urban resilience, examining risk mitigation strategies, and focusing on practical application at the local level. By providing an actionable framework, "Resilient Cities" aims to equip policymakers, urban planners, and community stakeholders with the tools to create more livable, equitable, and sustainable cities.
