City Resilience and Sustainable Infrastructure—An Introduction

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Sustainable Cities and Resilience

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering ((LNCE,volume 183))

Abstract

Sustainability and resilience should be highest priorities in urban planning and city development to sustain life through the adverse effects of disasters. This chapter summarizes the contents of the book volume on City Resilience and Sustainable Infrastructure. The book discusses key topics such as resilient infrastructure in construction, innovative construction interventions, waste management and disaster risk reduction, urban development and sustainability, and cross-cutting issues. Basic definitions and information on City Resilience and Sustainable Infrastructure are also included in the chapter.
