Through 12 case studies from Australia, Bangladesh, Haiti, Sri
Lanka, Vietnam and the USA, this book focuses on the housing
reconstruction process after an earthquake, tsunami, cyclone, flood
or fire. Design of post-disaster housing is not simply replacing
the destroyed house but, as these case studies highlight, a means
to not only build a safer house but also a more resilient
community; not to simply return to the same condition as before the
disaster, but an opportunity for building back better. The book
explores two main themes: Housing reconstruction is most successful
when involving the users in the design and construction process
Housing reconstruction is most effective when it is integrated with
community infrastructure, services and the means to create real
livelihoods. The case studies included in this book highlight work
completed by different agencies and built environment professionals
in diverse disaster-affected contexts. With a global acceleration
of natural disasters, often linked to accelerating climate change,
there is a critical demand for robust housing solutions for
vulnerable communities. This book provides professionals, policy
makers and community stakeholders working in the international
development and disaster risk management sectors, with an
evidence-based exploration of how to add real value through the
design process in housing reconstruction. Herein then, the
knowledge we need to build, an approach to improve our processes, a
window to understanding the complex domain of post-disaster housing
reconstruction.
