Sadly, majordisasters will always occur intowns and cities in thedeveloping world whereresources are limited, people arevulnerable and needs areparticularly great. The prevailing

state of emergency challenges thoughtful andsustainable planning and construction. Yet it is possible,in theory and in practice, to construct them in a waythat provides a sustainable environment and improvedconditions for current and future generations.
