Urban Disasters and Resilience in Asia presents the latest
information on the intensity and frequency of disasters.
Specifically, the fact that, in urban areas, more than 50% of the
world's population is living on just 2% of the land surface, with
most of these cities located in Asia and developing countries that
have high vulnerability and intensification. The book offers an
in-depth and multidisciplinary approach to reducing the impact of
disasters by examining specific evidence from events in these areas
that can be used to develop best practices and increase urban
resilience worldwide. As urban resilience is largely a function of
resilient and resourceful citizens, building cities which are more
resilient internally and externally can lead to more productive
economic returns. In an era of rapid urbanization and increasing
disaster risks and vulnerabilities in Asian cities, Urban Disasters
and Resilience in Asia is an invaluable tool for policy makers,
researchers, and practitioners working in both public and private
sectors.
