The devastating impact of disasters on the world s population is on
the increase, influenced by climate change, urbanization, and
persistent high levels of poverty, among other factors. There is a
growing demand for reconstruction at scale. This book asks whether
large-scale reconstruction can be participatory and developmental;
can rebuilding be truly people-centered, contributing to breaking
the cycle of poverty and dependence? Can reconstruction reduce
people s vulnerability to disasters and other shocks? "Building
Back Better" examines the context for reconstruction, and shows how
developments in the fields of housing, participation and
livelihoods have changed and enriched approaches to reconstruction.
It goes on to explore the practice of implementing large-scale
reconstruction through in-depth case studies of recent programs in
Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Indonesia and India. Finally, an analysis of
selected projects in six additional countries over a longer period
of time adds other relevant issues to people-centered
reconstruction at scale. The book intends to inform policy, program
design, practice and evaluation. It will be of interest to agencies
regularly involved in reconstruction, to consultants and
specialists involved, to aid agencies, to the authorities in
countries regularly faced with disasters, as well as to students,
academics and researchers."
