This book addresses unexpected disasters and shocks in cities and
urban systems by providing quantitative and qualitative tools for
impact analysis and disaster management. Including environmental
catastrophes, political turbulence and economic shocks, Resilience
and Urban Disasters explores a large range of tumultuous events and
key case studies to thoroughly cover these core areas. Chapters
explore novel contributions on urban evolution and adjustment
patterns based on studies from across the globe. Both causal
mechanisms and policy responses to the high social costs of urban
disasters are addressed. In particular, the book explores the
socio-economic impacts on urban systems that are subject to
disasters, including migration due to large earthquakes in Japan,
the economic impact of terrorist attacks in Istanbul and labour
market changes as a result of natural disasters in Italy. Urban
planning and urban economics scholars will greatly benefit from the
multidisciplinary analyses of a variety of case studies in the
book. City planners and urban administrators will also find the
exploration of potential paths of resilience for cities to be an
invaluable tool for future planning. Contributors include: K.
