ABSTRACT
Cities are sites of innovation. Networked urbanism is an emergent form of sociality and communication particularly alive to the demands of disaster situations. This chapter explores what forms networked urbanism takes in disasters as it draws on a range of discussions around the constitution of publics in relation to risks, resilience, and new forms of socio-technical interactions that lead to challenges to traditional forms of disaster management. Drawing on these discussions, we assemble conceptual resources, including ‘technologies of humility,’ ‘communities of risk,’ and ‘networks of trust’ to think beyond top-down or bottom-up solutions to risk, instead asking questions about what it means to engage in new partnerships of risk governance.
