Enhancing Disaster Preparedness: From Humanitarian Architecture to
Community Resilience relates to the fourth priority of the UNDRR's
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. Taking a
wide understanding of disaster preparedness, the book deals with
resilient responses and building capacities related to hazardous
events, bringing some practical experiences and theoretical
insights in this regard. Mostly based on field research conducted
in the Global South by architects and other built-environment
professionals, the book covers both post-disaster interventions
(rebuilding and recovery) and development-related processes. Its
three parts address the interlinkages between humanitarian design,
community resilience, and inclusive governance, which are crucial
for fostering effective disaster preparedness. Part I discusses the
changing roles of architects and urban designers involved in the
humanitarian sphere. Part II concentrates on resilience as a
socioecological capacity to enhance preparedness within
community-based spatial processes. Focused on global dynamics, Part
III covers topics emphasizing the link between the management of
crises, whether political or economic, at different levels of
governance, and the vulnerability of communities and structures on
the national and local scales. As such, the book approaches rising
global priorities and brings timely lessons to support building a
more equitable, safe, and resilient environment in a rapidly
urbanized world.
