Spatial Planning and Resilience Following Disasters: International and Comparative Perspectives

by Teresa Sprague (Contribution by), Nadine Mägdefrau (Contribution by), Jaroslav Tesliar (Contribution by), Jozef Sulak (Contribution by), Ján Dzurdzenik (Contribution by)

Overview

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.
