The Everyday Resilience of the City: How Cities Respond to Terrorism and Disaster

Rogers, P., Wood, D. Murakami, Coaffee, J.

This book examines the practice of urban resilience past and present, drawing on deeper global historical sources and detailed case-studies of contemporary Britain. It argues that resilience is neither new nor necessarily about protecting ordinary people, but part of a long struggle over the control of cities.
