Spatial and urban planners, architects, and landscape architects explore how recovering from a disaster can help prevent future disasters and mitigating the loss from unavoidable ones. Their topics include urban planning and reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake, coastal resilience in Indonesia: from planning to implementation, enhancing flood management and flood protection planning in eastern Slovakia, major-accident hazards in German spatial planning, land-use planning after mega-disasters: between disaster prevention and spatial sustainability, and change-proof cities and regions as an integrated concept for tackling key challenges in spatial development.
