The fate of towns and cities stands at the center of the
environmental history of World War II. Broad swaths of cityscapes
were destroyed by the bombing of targets such as transport hubs,
electrical grids, and industrial districts, and across Europe,
Asia, and the Americas, urban environments were transformed by the
massive mobilization of human and natural resources to support the
conflict. But at the same time, the war saw remarkable resilience
among the human and non-human residents of cities. Foregrounding
the concept of urban resilience, this collection uncovers the
creative survival strategies that city-dwellers of all kinds turned
to in the midst of environmental devastation. As the first major
study at the intersection of environmental, urban, and military
history, The Resilient City in World War II lays the groundwork for
an improved understanding of rapid change in urban environments,
and how societies may adapt.
