Abstract
Several elements of social and demographic hazards, such as adverse economic conditions, resource shortage, climate change, and growing immigration flows are affecting the stability of cities. Conventional urban planning lacks adequate emergency responses and struggles to find fast, low-cost solutions to cope with the absence of urban structures and houses. Indeed, the housing sector is one of the action areas considered by what is known as a City Resilience Framework to be essential in improving urban resilience. The latter is a study on existing resilience requirements that began as a Ph.D. thesis and actually focuses on the parallels between the informal and the resilient city. It analyzed 19 case studies and borrowed examples of resilience from them in order to draft a framework of technical indications for essential, new, and temporary housing construction. The resulting “Technical Data Sheets for the Design” offer technological, typological, functional, and procedural information to be applied in preventive planning in order to promote resiliency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
