Resilience thinking and urban planning in a coastal environment at risks of tsunamis: the case study of Mehuín, Chile

It is critical to understand how to accommodate the 'resilience thinking' approach in city planning, in order for urban environments to adapt to extreme natural events. This study explored from both a conceptual and applied perspective, whether or not the resilience thinking approach has b...
