Abstract

The number of people affected by disasters worldwide has been increasing over the past 20 years. This increase is driven by two forces: urbanization and global environmental climate change. As more people are living in cities, and many of those cities are close to water, environmental changes are exposing cities to ever more risk. This necessitates innovative urban responses to anticipate potential disaster risk, engaging elements of cities’ physical and social environment to promote resilience. This chapter considers the features of cities that pose risks to disaster stressors and the efforts to build urban resilience that can mitigate some of these risks.

灾难
在过去20年中,全世界受灾害影响的人数一直在增加。这一增长是由两股力量推动的:城市化和全球环境气候变化。随着越来越多的人生活在城市中,其中许多城市靠近水源,环境变化使城市面临越来越大的风险。这就需要创新的城市应对措施来预测潜在的灾害风险,让城市的物理和社会环境要素参与进来,以提高抵御能力。本章考虑了对灾害压力源构成风险的城市的特征,以及建立能够减轻其中一些风险的城市抵御能力的努力。
