Social impact of disasters; Urban & municipal planning; Conservation of buildings & building materials

After disasters like earthquakes, floods, or wars, cities often face the challenge of rebuilding infrastructure while maintaining the unique heritage that defines their identity. Efforts to integrate preservation with modern redevelopment help retain the region while fostering resilience, pride, and social cohesion among affected populations. As urban areas face pressures from climate change and modernization, finding innovative approaches to preserve cultural heritage during reconstruction may ensure communities continue to meet the evolving needs of their spaces. Preserving Cultural Heritage in Post-Disaster Urban Renewal explores the impact of natural disasters on cultural heritage and its reconstruction processes. It examines the role of cultural heritage in community identity, memory, and social experiences. This book covers topics such as anthropology, civil engineering, and sociology, and is a useful resource for historians, sociologists, urban designers, political scientists, academicians, and researchers.
