They need to grow rapidly stronger in order to cope, adapt and flourish. Strong social networks and social cohesion can be more important for a communitys resilience than the actual physical structures of a city. But how can urban planning and design support these critical collective social strengths?\n\nThis book offers blue sky thinking from the applied social and behavioural sciences, and urban planning. It looks at case studies from 14 countries around the world including India, the USA, South Africa, Indonesia, the UK and New Zealand focusing on initiatives for housing.
