In
the coming decades, the major driver of increasing damages and losses
from disasters will be the growth of populations and assets in harm’s
way, especially in urban areas. Because of inadequate resources,
infrastructure, services, and capacity to manage population increases,
cities could face heavy losses of life and property unless governments
take proactive measures. There is a critical need for a flexible and
dynamic approach to building disaster resilience that goes beyond risk
mitigation. Building Urban Resilience: Principles, Tools, and Practice
is a practical resource designed to give planners and practitioners an
intuitive way to build elements of resilience into urban governance and
planning. The report guides readers in finding ways to avoid the
mistakes of the past and build resilience into urban development through
critical investments and integrated disaster risk management measures.
