• Sommario/riassunto: The term reset appeals to the feeling of restart, parenthesis or stand-by that has shaken our lives since the beginning of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As is often the case, restarts fuel uncertainty; hopes are placed on them and also precautions. They are ambiguous in terms of their temporality, since in them the act of restarting is easily confused with what is already being restarted. They are limit and limit, and, as such, engulf past, present and future. This book has been written since the reset in a choral way, as it incorporates 48 reflections elaborated during the peak of the pandemic, between April 14 and May 11, 2020, in different countries.

• Sommario/riassunto: "It is daunting to think about the fact that, at minimum, 13 million people in the US will need to retreat from coastal areas if we don't ; adapt our coastal development to respond to sea level rise and increasingly strong storms. The design, policy, and markets that have shaped coastal areas and residents are in desperate need of updating; the coastline is a dynamic place but that's not how current policies treat it. This edited volume brings together experts in design, planning, and policy to provide solutions for coastal adaptation in the U.S. It will inspire innovative and cross-disciplinary thinking about coastal policy at the state and local level while providing actionable, realistic policy and planning options for local governments. Contributors draw on lessons from communities around the US coasts-New York and New Jersey, California, as well as Texas, Louisiana, and Florida"--
