ITPI journalSummary: Disaster of various origins are rising, spreading, and escalating day by day across
the world including India. Such events have not only greater consequences for the
physical, socio-economic, and psychological wellbeing, but also expose the level of
resilience present in a region. Disasters in recent times have posed a greater challenge
to urban areas at national level. Apart from water and climate related disasters,
ongoing biological disaster, namely Covid-19, has exposed the poor resilience in the
country especially resilience of existing infrastructure. Such catastrophic events are
clear indication towards lack of disaster safe development planning specially in urban
areas. This paper attempts to analyze the importance of disaster resilience in urban
areas with reference to some of the most devastating events like the Bhuj Earthquake
(2001), Srinagar (2014), Chennai (2015), Kerala (2018) floods, Cyclone Hudhud (2015),
and COVID-19 Pandemic, and provides suggestive framework for disaster resilience for
making it an integral part of urban planning and management.
