Post-Disaster Reconstruction Impact on City's Urban Development
Cities face a very critical challenge that hits from time to time and affects many aspects of life; disaster is the challenge that many cities and human settlements suffer from, causing damages to physical structure of the city and consequently disturb the normal livelihood of the inhabitants and may cause losses in lives and injuries in addition to affecting many vital aspects that directly connect to human life and stability such as the economy, the social life, the environment, and the urban development. The devastating impact of the disaster proves the need for measures and actions that should be applied before, during, and after the disaster to enable the cities and communities not just to recover to the normal before the event but also to improve and develop better and more resilient. These measures are what the study is going to discuss. Disaster management principles are the measure that mitigates the effects of the disaster, while the reconstruction is the measure that removes disaster's impact and the way for better recovery. This paper study the impact of the reconstruction on urban development via four case studies; each case study presents one of the reconstruction approaches discussed in the literature review. The study concludes that post-disaster reconstruction has a positive impact on the urban development and offer an opportunity to achieve resilient cities/settlements.
