A DPU Dialogues in Development Book Launch
Resilient Urbanism explores how cities, towns, and informal settlements across the globe are adapting to the challenges of rapid urbanisation, climate change, and deepening social inequalities. Bringing together interdisciplinary essays and vivid case studies—from Maputo, Rio de Janeiro, and Hanoi to Buenos Aires—this volume highlights how urban communities confront crises and reimagine resilience in their everyday lives.
Challenging dominant discourses, the book presents resilience not just as a framework but as a lived and evolving process shaped by the socio-political dynamics of urbanisation. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and urban practitioners, Resilient Urbanism offers fresh insights into how cities withstand disruption and actively shape more just and sustainable futures.
Join us for the launch of Resilient Urbanism to discuss these critical perspectives on the future of cities.
