Epilogue: What Makes a City Resilient? 330 $aThe fate of towns and cities stands at the center of the environmental history of World War II. Broad swaths of cityscapes were destroyed by the bombing of targets such as transport hubs, electrical grids, and industrial districts, and across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, urban environments were transformed by the massive mobilization of human and natural resources to support the conflict. But at the same time, the war saw remarkable resilience among the human and non-human residents of cities. Foregrounding the concept of urban resilience, this collection uncovers the creative survival strategies that city-dwellers of all kinds turned to in the midst of environmental devastation. As the first major study at the intersection of environmental, urban, and military history, The Resilient City in World War II lays the groundwork for an improved understanding of rapid change in urban environments, and how societies may adapt. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in World Environmental History,$x2730-9754 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory 606 $aWorld history 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aUrban History 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aMilitary History 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 14$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aUrban History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aMilitary History. 676 $a940.31 676 $a940.531 702 $aLaakkonen$b Simo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMcNeill$b J.
