Reviewing current policies and practices, the book assesses the
financial, economic and physical risk of building in hazardous
areas, and looks at how societies approach economic development
while trying to create a more resilient built environment in spite
of the dangers. It examines the vulnerability of economic and
social infrastructure to natural hazard events, looks at policies
which imperil infrastructure, and proposes new development
approaches to be undertaken by sovereign states, international
development banks, NGOs, and bilateral aid agencies.
