About this product
Product Information
This volume focuses on the breakdown in sustainability that is signalled by disaster. The authors bring to light why land use and sustainability have been ignored in devising public policies to deal with natural hazards. They lay out a vision of sustainability, concrete suggestions for policy reform and procedures for planning. The book chronicles the long evolution of land-use planning and indentifies key components of sustainable planning for hazards. Stressing the importance of balance in land use, the authors offer principles and specific reforms for achieving their vision of sustainability.Product Identifiers
