About this book

Resilience is increasingly becoming a catchword in current discussions about urban and regional development. While there has been a strong research focus on sustainability, there is a lack of understanding of the processes and factors that make cities and regions more vulnerable and others more resilient, for example, when dealing with climate change, demographic decline and ageing, as well as economic crises. The German Annual of Spatial Research and Policy 2010 sheds some light on this by discussing examples of how actors deal with change. On the one hand, concepts are described and analysed which are oriented towards increasing urban regional resilience, for example regarding energy consumption, climate change, and urban decline. Moreover, institutional aspects are discussed. On the other hand, barriers for using the concept of resilience in planning are described and suggestions are made about how to deal with these barriers in strategic planning.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This is a relevant book as it introduces international readers to the state of discussion within some German research institutes. … it outlines many topics that would deserve more attention both within the German discourse but also on an international level. … this book underlines that resilience is a term that despite its fluidity and its multiple meanings, interpretation and conceptualizations stimulates exchange and discussion among and between disciplines.” (Christian Kuhlicke, Erdkunde, Vol. 66 (4), 2012)
