Summary
Details

Housing systems across the Global South are increasingly shaped by the convergence of rapid urbanization, environmental risks, and institutional fragmentation. In many cities and rural regions alike, populations face housing precarity exacerbated by inadequate infrastructure, insecure land tenure, and the growing frequency and intensity of disasters. These risks are challenges that intersect deeply with historical, political, and spatial dynamics, producing vulnerability over time. Housing Vulnerability and Disaster Risk in the Global South examines housing vulnerability and disaster risk as interconnected phenomena. This book illuminates how structural forces, policy failures, and governance gaps contribute to housing insecurity, while also exploring the knowledge, strategies, and agency of communities confronting these risks. By bridging disciplinary boundaries and geographic contexts, this book offers a nuanced understanding of how housing vulnerability and disaster risk are co-produced in environments characterized by fragility, inequality, and resistance. Covering topics such as climate adaptation strategies, resilient agribusiness, and informal settlements, this book is a critical academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, researchers, policymakers, civil society organizations, and more.
