Tungkol sa ebook na ito
""Disaster Ready Cities"" highlights the critical role of urban planning in preparing for natural disasters. With growing urban populations concentrated in vulnerable areas, understanding and mitigating risks from earthquakes, hurricanes, and extreme weather events is more crucial than ever. The book emphasizes proactive strategies, informed by earth sciences and geographic factors, to transform cities into resilient communities. Interestingly, reactive disaster response alone is insufficient; proactive planning saves lives, reduces property damage, and minimizes economic disruption.
The book progresses by first introducing key concepts like hazard, vulnerability, and resilience. It then analyzes specific risks and examines urban planning strategies for mitigation, such as land-use planning and resilient infrastructure design. Case studies of successful and unsuccessful city implementations are presented, culminating in a comprehensive framework for building disaster-ready cities.
The book's value lies in its practical, solutions-oriented approach, making complex information accessible to urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating safer communities.
