    City Resilience and Sustainable Infrastructure—An Introduction
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Pal, I.; Kolathayar, S.; Ganni, S.V.S.A.B.
    Sustainability and resilience should be highest priorities in urban planning and city development to sustain life through the adverse effects of disasters. This chapter summarizes the contents of the book volume on City Resilience and Sustainable Infrastructure. The book discusses key topics such as resilient infrastructure in construction, innovative construction interventions, waste management and disaster risk reduction, urban development and sustainability, and cross-cutting issues. Basic definitions and information on City Resilience and Sustainable Infrastructure are also included in the chapter. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Disaster Risk Reduction and Civil Engineering—An Introduction
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Kolathayar, S.; Pal, I.; Ganni, S.V.S.A.B.
    This chapter presents the definitions and concepts of disaster risk reduction and its relation to the discipline of civil engineering. It is important to have the infrastructure resilient to disaster. In addition, civil engineering has the potential to offer solutions that can reduce the risk during a disaster. The disaster risk can be reduced by reducing the exposure and vulnerability. The civil engineers can reduce the disaster risk in several ways such as proper land use planning, integrating efficient codal provisions, appropriate design reducing the vulnerability, quality improvement in construction, provision of sea walls, flood protection structures, drainage systems, and earth retention schemes. This book envisages knowledge dissemination on disaster risk reduction primarily focusing on civil engineering perspectives and cross-cutting issues. Research and innovations in civil engineering have the potential to offer solutions toward disaster resilient infrastructures. The vision of this book is in line with the priorities set by UN-SFDRR and UN-SDGs to promote a global culture of risk-awareness and disaster reduction. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
