Publisher Description Through 12 case studies from Australia, Bangladesh, Haiti, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and the USA, this book focuses on the housing reconstruction process after an earthquake, tsunami, cyclone, flood or fire. Design of post-disaster housing is not simply replacing the destroyed house but, as these case studies highlight, a means to not only build a safer house but also a more resilient community; not to simply return to the same condition as before the disaster, but an opportunity for building back better.The book explores two main themes:Housing reconstruction is most successful when involving the users in the design and construction processHousing reconstruction is most effective when it is integrated with community infrastructure, services and the means to create real livelihoods.The case studies included in this book highlight work completed by different agencies and built environment professionals in diverse disaster-affected contexts.
