Description: Disaster Risk Reduction for the Built Environment, Paperback by Bosher, Lee; Chmutina, Ksenia, ISBN 1118921496, ISBN-13 9781118921494, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 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. Disaster Risk Reduction for the Built Environment 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. Th 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.
