Recenzje

"This book is rich in both theoretical models and field observations. It does well to unite them, but its greatest strength is that it is not afraid to face up to the complexity of the reconstruction process and question years of orthodox but inadequate practices." – Construction Management and Economics

“Rebuilding After Disasters: From Emergency to Sustainability, features surveys conducted on-site, studies and compares recent post-disaster intervention efforts, and identifies the strategies that can turn a crisis into an opportunity to improve town planning and long-term reconstruction.” – Boundaries
