Earth's fractured geology is visible in its fault lines. It is
along these lines that earthquakes occur, sometimes with disastrous
effects. These disturbances can significantly influence urban
development, as seen in the aftermath of two earthquakes in
Messina, Italy, in 1908 and in the Belice Valley, Sicily, in 1968.
Following the history of these places before and after their
destruction, this book explores plans and developments that
preceded the disasters and the urbanism that emerged from the
ruins. These stories explore fault lines between "rural" and
"urban," "backwardness" and "development," and "before" and
"after," shedding light on the role of environmental forces in the
history of human habitats.
