Disaster Risk Reduction for the Built Environment provides a
multi-facetted introduction to how a wide range of risk reduction
options can be mainstreamed into formal and informal construction
decision making processes, so that Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
can become part of the developmental DNA . The contents highlight
the positive roles that practitioners such as civil and structural
engineers, urban planners and designers, and architects (to name
just a few) can undertake to ensure that disaster risk is addressed
when (re)developing the built environment. The book does not set
out prescriptive ( context blind ) solutions to complex problems
because such solutions can invariably generate new problems.
Instead it raises awareness, and in doing so, inspires a broad
range of people to consider DRR in their work or everyday
practices. This highly-illustrated text book provides a broad range
of examples, case studies and thinking points that can help the
reader to consider how DRR approaches might be adapted for
differing contexts.
