Resilient Cities and Infrastructures in Earthquake Zones: Sustainable Solutions explores strategies and technologies to enhance the resilience of infrastructure in earthquake-prone areas, focusing on innovative approaches to mitigate seismic risks. The book assesses sustainable urban planning practices that incorporate seismic hazard, vulnerability, and risk evaluations, ensuring safety and long-term sustainability. Additionally, it examines the critical role of community engagement in fostering disaster-resilient urban environments. Chapters offer actionable insights and best practices that align with the UN SDGs, serving as a comprehensive resource for policymakers, urban planners, engineers, and industry professionals.
By spotlighting advanced materials, engineering solutions, and modern construction strategies, the book provides guidance on promoting seismic resilience while prioritizing community safety.
