«Ciudades, desastres y resiliencia. Perú y Chile siglos XVI-XX» ofrece una exploración meticulosa de cómo los fenómenos naturales han modelado las ciudades a lo largo de la historia en los territorios de Perú y Chile. A través de dieciséis artículos cuidadosamente seleccionados, esta obra propone una reflexión crítica sobre el impacto de desastres naturales —desde terremotos y tsunamis hasta erupciones volcánicas y deslizamientos de tierra— en el ámbito urbano, revelando cómo estos eventos catastróficos han influido en la reconstrucción, reubicación y reordenamiento de las ciudades en ambas naciones. Los artículos del libro están dispuestos en un orden cronológico que permite al lector seguir la evolución de las respuestas urbanísticas a estos desafíos, desde la época colonial hasta el presente.
