The Resilient City by Lawrence J Vale
Cities have been destroyed throughout history. And yet in nearly every recent instance they have risen, phoenix-like from the ashes. This anthology, edited by Lawrence J Vale and Thomas J Campanella, explores the extraordinary resilience of modern cities, and the politics and processes that govern urban recovery in the wake of disaster, with case studies from around the globe.
..through the depth of the essays collected within it, The Resilient City far surpasses previous edited volumes on urban reconstruction. * H-NET *
