By:

Sanderson, David [author]

Language: English Publication details: New York : Routledge, 2026.ISBN:

9781032411569

Subject(s):

Disaster relief and recovery

Summary: This book argues that humanitarian aid must accomplish this reset by prioritising people’s agency and localising responses. This book provides lessons learned from leading practitioners working in urban development who dissented from established top-down practices to forge better, people-centred approaches. These lessons are compared with the wicked problem of post-disaster shelter provision, reviewing good approaches that work, and some bad ones that don’t. This book ends by proposing three ways for aid to let go, through supporting and trusting people to do the right thing.
