Description
Resilience has gained significant currency in numerous areas as a remedy for complexity and uncertainty, yet its definition remains contested.

This book provides invaluable guidance and case studies for the planning of resilient and sustainable cities in uncertain times.' - Michio Ubaura, Tohoku University, Japan
