Resilience seems to be the new buzzword in urban-regional matters. Large or small, urban or rural, communities/cities/towns today are facing many challenges, other than a myriad of potential future shocks and disasters. To meet these challenges, cities (more than 50% of the world’s population now lives and works in cities, and estimates suggest this may rise to 70% by 2050) must become more resilient, strengthening prevention and response measures to deal with disasters more effectively. Resilience to disaster means not only the ability to recover from a major disaster but also building the capability to withstand disasters.

Abstract
Resilience seems to be the new buzzword in urban-regional matters. Large or small, urban or rural, communities/cities/towns today are facing many challenges, other than a myriad of potential future shocks and disasters. To meet these challenges, cities (more than 50% of the world’s population now lives and works in cities, and estimates suggest this may rise to 70% by 2050) must become more resilient, strengthening prevention and response measures to deal with disasters more effectively. Resilience to disaster means not only the ability to recover from a major disaster but also building the capability to withstand disasters.File in questo prodotto:
