This book presents practical approaches for tackling the threats
from climate change and disasters to urban growth in Pacific island
countries and Asian nations. With chapters written by leading
scholars and practitioners, Urbanisation at Risk presents research
and case studies from island countries across the Pacific,
Cambodia, Nepal and the Philippines. The book explores and presents
the theory, policy and practice of how governments, civil society,
aid organisations and people themselves prepare for, withstand and
recover better from urban disasters including windstorms, floods,
earthquakes and fires, and the effects of climate change. This book
is written for urban policy makers, researchers, humanitarian aid
and development workers, and anyone interested in urbanisation,
participatory approaches, disasters, resilience and climate change
adaptation.
