Population shifts and an increase in the number of natural (and
man-made) disasters are having a profound effect on urban and rural
habitats globally. This book brings together for the first time the
experiences and knowledge of international contributors from
academia, research, policy and practice to discuss the role of
spatial planning after significant disasters. It highlights
on-going efforts to improve spatial resilience across the globe and
predicts future trends. Comparisons from five countries including
Japan, the US, Indonesia, Slovakia and Germany, highlight the
influence of significant disasters on spatial planning and spatial
resiliency under different legal-administrative and cultural
frameworks.

This book discusses what it means for cities to work toward and
achieve resilience in the face of climate change. The content takes
an urban planning perspective with a water-related focus, exploring
the continued global and local efforts in improving disaster risk
management within the water sphere. Chapters examine four cities in
the US and Germany - San Francisco, San Diego, Solingen and
Wuppertal - as the core case studies of the discussion. The
chapters for each case delve into the current status of the cities
and issues resilience must overcome, and then explore solutions and
key takeaways learned from the implementation of various resilience
approaches. The book concludes with a summary of cross-cutting
themes, best-practice examples and a reflection on the relevance of
the approaches to cases in the wider developing world. This book
engages both practitioners and scientific audiences alike,
particularly those interested in issues addressed by the Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development, the recent Water Action Decade
2018-2028 and the Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities.
