Full Description
Disaster mapping and reconstruction from the 19th century to the present, with European case studies illustrating diverse regional and cultural approaches.
Cartographies of Catastrophes is an in-depth exploration of how disasters, whether due to wars or to natural calamities, have been documented and mapped over the past two centuries. This interdisciplinary volume brings together historians, urban planners, and architects to examine the role of maps in understanding, responding to, and reconstructing after catastrophic events. From the Greek War of Independence to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, this book offers a unique perspective on how maps shape our perception of disasters and their aftermath. With case studies spanning Europe, it provides a compelling narrative of resilience, reconstruction, and the enduring impact of catastrophes on our cities and landscapes. Essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of history, cartography, and urban planning.
