Taylor & Francis Cities Disaster Risk and Adaptation Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City
Book SynopsisWorldwide, disasters and climate change pose a serious risk to sustainable urban development, resulting in escalating human and economic costs. Consequently, city authorities and other urban actors face the challenge of integrating risk reduction and adaptation strategies into their work. However, related knowledge and expertise are still scarce and fragmented.Cities, Disaster Risk and Adaptation explores ways in which resilient cities can be âbuiltâ and sustainable urban transformations achieved. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of urban risk reduction and adaptation planning, exploring key theoretical concepts and analysing the complex interrelations between cities, disasters and climate change. Furthermore, it provides an overview of current risk reduction and adaptation approaches taken by both city authorities and city dwellers from diverse contexts in low, middle and high income nations. Finally, the book offers a planning framework for reducing and adapting to risk in urban areas by expanding on pre-existing positive actions and addressing current shortfalls in theory and practice. The importance of a distributed urban governance system, in which institutionsâ and citizensâ adaptive capacities can support and complement each other, is highlighted.This book takes a holistic approach; it integrates perspectives and practice from risk reduction and climate change adaptation based on a specific urban viewpoint. The text is richly supplemented with boxed case studies written by renowned academics and practitioners in the field and âtest yourselfâ scenarios that integrate theory into practice. Each chapter contains learning objectives, end of chapter questions, suggested further reading and web resources, as well as a wealth of tables and figures. This book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of geography, urban studies and planning, architecture, environmental studies, international development, sociology and sustainability studies.Trade Review"Christine Wamsler has produced what can only be described as an all-encompassing book on urban sustainability, risk and disaster management, and urban resilience." - Urban Studies, Mario Pole`se, University of Quebec, Canada"A very timely and valuable contribution to the literature for urban planners, city governments and all those who wish to understand the interactions between urbanization, disaster risk and climate change, and explore innovative ways and means of action." — David Satterthwaite, Senior Fellow at the International Institute of Environment and Development, coordinating lead author on the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report"I congratulate the author on this important book which bridges the gap between theory, rhetoric and the daily efforts to manage disasters and reduce risk in urban areas worldwide. It develops new thinking, offers practical ideas, and lessens the time-consuming task of searching for advice on what does or does not work. Its usefulness extends far beyond its directly intended readership." — Margareta Wahlström, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk ReductionTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Energy Security
Book SynopsisThis Handbook examines the subject of energy security: its definition, dimensions, ways to measure and index it, and the complicating factors that are often overlooked. The volume identifies varying definitions and dimensions of energy security, including those that prioritize security of supply and affordability alongside those that emphasize availability, energy efficiency, trade, environmental quality, and social and political stewardship. It also explores the various metrics that can be used to give energy security more coherence, and also to enable it to be measured, including recent attempts to measure energy security progress at the national level, with a special emphasis placed on countries within the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), countries within Asia, and industrialized countries worldwide. This Handbook:â Broadens existing discussions of energy security that center on access to fuels, including oil security and coal secuTrade Review'The Routledge handbook of energy security is a comprehensive and in many respects innovative approach to the subject, which will undoubtedly make it a standard work of reference for researchers and practitioners engaged in the field. The contributors bring to bear a wide range of perspectives. Collectively, they do a wonderful job at transcending the narrow oil-centric, supply-oriented and national prisms through which energy security has traditionally been viewed. A powerful, nuanced and diligently researched synthesis of the current energy security debate.' - Thijs Van de Graaf, International Affairs, Vol. 87, 6, November 2011'Sovacool has assembled a highly qualified set of contributors.
