The contents highlight the positive roles that practitioners such as civil and structural engineers, urban planners and designers, and architects (to name just a few) can undertake to ensure that disaster risk is addressed when (re)developing the built environment. The book does not set out prescriptive (‘context blind’) solutions to complex problems because such solutions can invariably generate new problems. Instead it raises awareness, and in doing so, inspires a broad range of people to consider DRR in their work or everyday practices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis highly-illustrated text book provides a broad range of examples, case studies and thinking points that can help the reader to consider how DRR approaches might be adapted for differing contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList

Lee Bosher\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Disaster Risk Reduction in the Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) at Loughborough University, England. He has a background in disaster risk management and his research and teaching includes disaster risk reduction and the multidisciplinary integration of proactive hazard mitigation strategies into the decision–making processes of key stakeholders, involved with the planning, design, construction and operation of the built environment. Lee is coordinator of the \u003ci\u003eInternational Council for Building's\u003c\/i\u003e Working Commission W120 on 'Disasters and the Built Environment', a Fellow of the \u003ci\u003eRoyal Geographical Society\u003c\/i\u003e and he has been involved in research projects that investigated how urban resilience can be increased in the UK, Haiti, India, Nigeria and across parts of Europe.

Her main research interest is in synergies of resilience and sustainability in the built environment, including holistic approaches to enhancing resilience to natural hazards and human–induced threats, and a better understanding of the systemic implications of sustainability and resilience under the pressures of urbanisation and climate change. She has extensive experience of working on RCUK and EU–funded projects that have focused on resilience and sustainability of urban spaces in Europe, China and the Caribbean.      \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Between 2010 and 2015 the world experienced 530 disaster events that affected 140 million people, killed 78,000 people and caused US$151bn in damages, figures that are testament to the significant and increasingly negative impacts that disasters have globally.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e Disaster Risk Reduction for the Built Environment\u003c\/i\u003e provides a multi-facetted introduction to how a wide range of risk reduction options can be mainstreamed into formal and informal construction decision making processes, so that Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) can become part of the 'developmental DNA'. The contents highlight the positive roles that practitioners such as civil and structural engineers, urban planners and designers, and architects can undertake to ensure that disaster risk is addressed when (re)developing the built environment. The book does not set out prescriptive or context blind solutions to complex problems because such solutions can invariably generate new problems. Instead it raises awareness, and in doing so, inspires a broad range of people to consider DRR in their work or everyday practices.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This highly-illustrated text book provides a broad range of examples, case studies and thinking points that help the reader to consider how DRR approaches might be adapted for differing contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989072462053,"sku":"NP9781118921494","price":83.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118921494.jpg?v=1761782681","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/disaster-risk-reduction-for-the-built-environment-isbn-9781118921494","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
