Cities have been destroyed throughout history. And yet in nearly every recent instance they have risen, phoenix-like from the ashes. This anthology, edited by Lawrence J Vale and Thomas J Campanella, explores the extraordinary resilience of modern cities, and the politics and processes that govern urban recovery in the wake of disaster, with case studies from around the globe.
