Enhancing Disaster Preparedness: From Humanitarian Architecture to Community Resilience is closely linked to the fourth priority of the UNDRRs Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030. This comprehensive book takes a broad perspective on disaster preparedness, exploring resilient responses and capacity-building related to hazardous events. Drawing from field research conducted in the Global South by architects and other built-environment professionals, the book covers both post-disaster interventions (rebuilding and recovery) and development-related processes.
The book's three parts delve into the interconnectedness of humanitarian design, community resilience, and inclusive governance, which are essential for fostering effective disaster preparedness. Part I examines the evolving roles of architects and urban designers in the humanitarian sphere. Part II focuses on resilience as a socioecological capacity to enhance preparedness within community-based spatial processes. Part III, with a global outlook, addresses topics emphasizing the link between crisis management at various governance levels and the vulnerability of communities and structures at national and local scales.
By addressing rising global priorities, the book offers timely lessons to support the building of a more equitable, safe, and resilient environment in the rapidly urbanizing world.
