Fundamentals of planning and designing sustainable post-disaster shelters[electronic resource] /by Avi Friedman, Baichi Chaki. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xxiii, 191 p. :ill. (chiefly color), digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: The Global Need for Shelters -- Chapter 2: Site Selection -- Chapter 3: Site Planning -- Chapter 4: Planning for Rapid Delivery -- Chapter 5: Infrastructure and Utilities -- Chapter 6: Form and Function of a Shelter -- Chapter 7: Prefabricated Shelters -- Chapter 8: Designing Shelters for Self-Help Building -- Chapter 9: Sustainable Materials for Shelters -- Chapter 10: Charting a Path Forward.

The book explores essential principles and practices for planning and designing sustainable refugee shelters. With millions of people forced to flee their homes annually due to conflict, environmental disasters, or persecution, the urgency of this global crisis cannot be overstated. Since refugees often reside in temporary shelters for years after years, it is imperative to construct refugee camps and shelters that address their long-term needs. This comprehensive guide delves into emergency shelter design and refugee camp planning concepts, exploring topics ranging from site selection and infrastructure development to shelter design and material choice. Drawing on real-world case studies and expert insights, this book offers a vital resource for architects, urban planners, humanitarian aid workers, policymakers, researchers, and students. As climate change exacerbates the refugee crisis, it becomes increasingly imperative to prioritize innovative, sustainable solutions for development and foster resilience.
