Resilience, the ultimate sustainability: lessons from failing to develop a stronger and safer built environment
In this book, a career industry insider and 9-11 survivor puts the spotlight on why the multi-trillion dollar United States (US) built environment is increasingly failing to disaster hazards. His analysis exposes those policies and interests that to this very day are the problem’s root causes and demystifies how the building and insurance industries work and the role played by government. The book extracts 30 lessons for all nations that aim to build a more disaster-resilient future.
