An Expert's Groundbreaking Thoughts on Resilience
Revisado: 10-02-20
A wonderfully narrated audiobook. Aris Papadopoulos's distinguished expertise shines in this seminal work on resilience and the systemic failures that make our built environments so vulnerable to disasters.
"Nature may generate hazards, but humans cause disasters." According to FEMA, for every $1 invested in Resilience Capacity, $4 are saved in disaster damages/losses. Why are poor building codes and weak materials so widespread? Why is there such limited data democracy for homeowners/buyers to understand the disaster risks of properties? Why has neither the government nor the private sector pulled this together?
The book opened my eyes to how poor building codes and materials, the national flood insurance structure, and industry lobbies act against resiliency. Mr. Papadopoulos provides compelling strategies, tactics, and applications to solve these (and other) systemic problems. Such thinking informs the book's title: ultimate sustainability means building things that last.
