It is along these lines that earthquakes occur, sometimes with disastrous effects. These disturbances can significantly influence urban development, as seen in the aftermath of two earthquakes in Messina, Italy, in 1908 and in the Belice Valley, Sicily, in 1968. Following the history of these places before and after their destruction, this book explores plans and developments that preceded the disasters and the urbanism that emerged from the ruins. These stories explore fault lines between "rural" and "urban," "backwardness" and "development," and "before" and "after," shedding light on the role of environmental forces in the history of human habitats.Environment in History: International PerspectivesEnvironment in history.v.6Earthquake resistant designItalyMessinaEarthquake resistant designItalyBelice River ValleyEarthquake engineeringItalyMessinaEarthquake engineeringItalyBelice River ValleyEarthquakesItalyMessinaHistory20th centuryEarthquakesItalyBelice River ValleyHistory20th centuryCity planningItalyMessinaCity planningItalyMessina (Italy)Buildings, structures, etcbelice valley.catastrophe.destruction.earthquakes.engaging.environmental forces.environmental history.fault lines.geology.government and governing.historiographical references.human habitats.innovative study.italian history.italy.messina.natural disasters.phenomenon.politics.science.scientists.seismic events.seismology.sicily.social sciences.study of disasters.tectonic plates.theoretical.tragedy.urban planning.urbanism.Earthquake resistant designEarthquake resistant designEarthquake engineeringEarthquake engineeringEarthquakesHistoryEarthquakesHistoryCity planningCity planning693.8693.85209458111Parrinello Giacomo748392MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQAzTeSBOOK9910808628803321Fault lines1496778UNINA
