Safe(r) Cities? Risk, Security and Resilience

Tuesday, 12 July 2016: 14:15-15:45
Location: Hörsaal 46 (Main Building)
TG04 Sociology of Risk and Uncertainty (host committee)

Language: English

The language of risk has historically prevailed in discussions about the ways is which cities can be protected from environmental, health and security threats. In many respects this should come as no surprise given the weight placed on risk in design, civil engineering and the physical sciences – all of which have played key roles in the establishment and maturation of cities. In as much as risk remains an important component in the design and management of cities in the 21st century resilience has become not only a buzzword but also a key objective of urban policy making in a range of areas including crime prevention, flood control, counter-terrorism and limiting the spread of infectious diseases. 
This session invites papers from across the social and natural sciences that are focussed on analysing the extent of the shift from risk to resilience in policy making and/or evaluating the utilisation of resilience in particular fields of security and urban governance.
