This book is the culmination of the author's research on Urban Risk Management, based on research on practical applications on risk prevention and control practice in the industry. The main goal of this book is to make clear the concept of urban risk, analyse the objects to urban risk management, form a cognitive framework, arrange the practice on Chinese urban risk management, and finally to form a workable urban risk management system. Systematically discusses urban risk prevention and control in terms of its main forces, mechanisms, systems, and capabilities and presents a multidimensional pyramidal management framework between society, market, and government Improves the typology of academic courses related to urban risk management and clarifies different branches of theoretical concepts and practical applications Provides a solid foundation for an understanding of how urban risks evolve from accidents or incidents and identifies characteristics and patterns in risk sources Proposes three mechanisms: co-governance, refined prevention and control, and multilayered guarantees as part of the full-lifecycle perspective in risk prevention, control, and management
