Aims and Scope
The Urban Book Series is a resource for urban studies and geography research
worldwide.Itprovidesauniqueandinnovativeresourceforthelatestdevelopments
in the field, nurturing a comprehensive and encompassing publication venue for
urban studies, urban geography, planning and regional development.
The series publishes peer-reviewed volumes related to urbanization, sustainabil-
ity, urban environments, sustainable urbanism, governance, globalization, urban
and sustainable development, spatial and area studies, urban management, urban
infrastructure, urban dynamics, green cities and urban landscapes. It also invites
research which documents urbanization processes and urban dynamics on a
national, regional and local level, welcoming case studies, as well as comparative
and applied research.
The series will appeal to urbanists, geographers, planners, engineers, architects,
policy makers, and to all of those interested in a wide-ranging overview of
contemporary urban studies and innovations in the field. It accepts monographs,
edited volumes and textbooks.

Preface
Resilience—is it still the hype when you read this book? It might depend on the
background you have, the discipline, field of research or action, country or time.
While some might have felt resilience is already past its hiatus, resilience has
remarkablyshownpersistence.Insomeacademicfields,resilienceisburgeoning,in
others mushrooming, in other fields, disputed. Even when we started planning this
book, or on some conference sessions in 2012 when we first gathered authors for
thisbook,disasterresiliencewasnotanoveltopic.However,overyears,weheard
demands to illustrate whether and how such a multifaceted concept of resilience
could be put into practice or be operationalised when there existed so many dif-
ferent definitions.Thisbooktries tocontributeselectedexampleshowresilienceis
conceptualised and how researchers and practitioners try to work with it.
The selection of topics, authors and chapters resulted from the editors’ interests
in recent research and policy fields; notably, critical infrastructure and civil pro-
tectionaswellasurbanresilienceinthecontextofDisasterRiskReduction(DRR),
Climate Change Adaption (CCA), man-made hazards and threats. On a method-
ologicalside,wewereinterestedinmeasurabilityofresilience,butembracingboth
qualitative and quantitative approaches. We are very grateful that so many authors
from our wish list agreed to contribute their interesting perspectives to this book.
Authors come from various disciplines and countries (with a slight focus on
Europe), but we also include perspectives from Iran, Nepal and the USA. This
broad perspective is important to foster future discussions on this topic. To ensure
the overall quality of this volume, all chapters were cross-reviewed by authors of
other chapters and editor-reviewed.
