Places which seem similar can respond very differently, and with varying degrees of success, to external threats and to the interventions designed to manage them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this magisterial work, drawing on decades of research, Sandra Wallman explores how we can measure and compare the resilience of communities, looking in detail at neighbourhoods in London, Rome and Zambia. Each locale is examined as a system which is more or less open or closed; open systems tend to be more resilient when faced with external challenges. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs well as being a fascinating study in its own right, the book includes detailed accounts of the research methods used, as well as a user-friendly typology for classifying local systems, making it an invaluable tool for students, researchers and policy-makers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Wallman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745331459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745331454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Sandra Wallman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437993865471,"sku":"9780745331454","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74c340b4-870b-45a9-b179-efc621c57bf5.jpg?v=1777168073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-capability-of-places-sandra-wallman-9780745331454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
