This book examines reconstruction and resilience of historic cities
and societies from multiple disciplinary and complementary
perspectives and, by doing so, it helps researchers and
practitioners alike, among them reconstruction managers, urban
governance and professionals. The book builds on carefully selected
and updated papers accepted for the 2019 Silk Cities international
conference on 'reconstruction, recovery and resilience of historic
cities and societies', the third Silk Cities conference held in
L'Aquila, Italy, 10-12 July 2019, working with University of
L'Aquila and UCL. This multi-scale, and multidisciplinary book
offers cross-sectoral and complimentary voices from multiple
stakeholders, including academia, urban governance, NGOs and local
populations. It examines post-disaster reconstruction strategies
and case studies from Europe, Asia and Latin America that provide a
valuable collection for anyone who would like to get a global
overview on the subject matter. It thereby enables a deeper
understanding of challenges, opportunities and approaches in
dealing with historic cities facing disasters at various
geographical scales. Additionally, it brings together historical
approaches to the reconstruction of historical cities and those of
more recent times. Thus, it can be used as a reference book for
global understanding of the subject matter.
