New Security Challenges: How Cities Respond to Terrorism and Disaster

Coaffee, J.; Wood, D. Murakami; Rogers, P.

This book examines the practice of urban resilience past and present, drawing on deeper global historical sources and detailed case-studies of contemporary Britain. It argues that resilience is neither new nor necessarily about protecting ordinary people, but part of a long struggle over the control of cities.
