This book critically surveys a decade of disasters in Otautahi
Christchurch. It brings together a diverse range of authors,
disciplinary approaches and topics, to reckon with the events that
commenced with the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. Each
contribution tackles its subject matter through the frame of
Critical Disaster Studies (CDS). The events and the subsequent
recovery provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from a
series of concatenating urban disasters in order to prepare us for
our future on an urban planet facing unprecedented environmental
pressures. The book focuses on the production of vulnerability, the
human dimensions of disaster, the Indigenous response to disasters
and the practical lessons that can be drawn from them.
