Beskrivning
Resilient Cities and Infrastructures in Earthquake Zones: Sustainable Solutions explores strategies and technologies to enhance the resilience of infrastructure in earthquake-prone areas, focusing on innovative approaches to mitigate seismic risks. The book assesses sustainable urban planning practices that incorporate seismic hazard, vulnerability, and risk evaluations, ensuring safety and long-term sustainability. Additionally, it examines the critical role of community engagement in fostering disaster-resilient urban environments. Chapters offer actionable insights and best practices that align with the UN SDGs, serving as a comprehensive resource for policymakers, urban planners, engineers, and industry professionals.

By spotlighting advanced materials, engineering solutions, and modern construction strategies, the book provides guidance on promoting seismic resilience while prioritizing community safety.

  • Provides readers with in-depth insights into the latest strategies and technologies that enhance the resilience of infrastructure in earthquake-prone regions
  • Emphasizes, from an engineering perspective, sustainable urban planning, offering practical guidance on how to integrate seismic hazard, vulnerability, and risk assessments into urban development practices
  • Aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs, providing readers with strategies that contribute to global efforts for resilient infrastructure and sustainable cities
