This edited volume discusses the concept of resilient cities within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. Written by an international panel of scholars and experts, the book presents theoretical approaches, identifies risk factors, and suggests policies for building resiliency in a region of the world undergoing rapid urbanization. Chapters cover a diverse range of topics, including innovative concepts and studies in resilient city design, the interaction of social, entrepreneurial, governmental, and ecological transformations in the GCC region, and international best practices for risk reduction. Coupling rigorous economic analysis and practical policy implications, this book will be useful for students and academics of finance, governance, energy and resource economics, and climate change, as well as policymakers, community leaders, and risk reduction professionals. This is an open access book.
