This book focuses on disaster recovery from the perspective of urban planning, an underutilized tactic that can significantly reduce disaster risks. It examines disaster risk reduction (DRR), in particular, the recovery stage of what is widely known as the disaster cycle, illustrating key concepts with real-world case studies and the perspectives of experts, urban planners, NGOs, and community members.
