“…For the plan to work, an administrative manual was developed, and this is reviewed and updated regularly. Additionally, drills are conducted often, including (a) community restoration drill programmes for citizens and (b) administrative staff training for post-disaster urban reconstruction planning (Aidba, 2007). Pre-contracts and agreements: Both national and local governments engage in pre-agreements and pre-contracts with private companies to facilitate faster recovery services following a disaster.…”

‘Build back better’, as a policy, is an integral part of planning for disaster resilience in Japan. This policy puts emphasis on addressing the underlying causes of disaster vulnerability during the recovery process so that people, infrastructures and assets can withstand the impacts of future disasters. Enforcing ‘Build back better’ policy offers a range of benefits: it prevents loss of life and property from future disasters; it stimulates economic activities; and it generates co-benefits. However, as a policy, countries around world do not have a common understanding of what ‘build back better’ means, including how to achieve and sustain it. This article reviews the case of Japan and argues that enforcement of ‘Build back better’ policy demands regular drills and simulations, making it part of the ‘culture of resilience’.

Risk Management Regime and Its Scope for Transition in Tokyo

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Coastal megacities are highly vulnerable to climate change due to asset concentration and hazard exposure, but have potential for innovative risk management taking advantage of technological, economic and political capacities and cultural assets. Tokyo is the center of one of the world's largest urban agglomerations and one of the most hazard prone global cities. Having experienced repeated extreme events and resultant devastation, Tokyo has deployed a strategy of high technology based risk management. In the face of climate risks that amplify ongoing threats from catastrophic earthquakes, it is unclear whether the current strategy and its attendant culture and administrative structures are an enabler or a barrier for climate change adaptation. Based on 24 expert interviews, this paper examines Tokyo's readiness to transition from its current risk management orientation aimed at disaster prevention towards more resilient of transformative states. We find the current risk management regime has been moving towards resilience planning promoted by the national policy architecture and the leadership of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government by incorporating self-help and community-cooperation into a long-standing strategy of resistance. This strategy continues to be dominated by technological, rather than social policy and so misses an opportunity for a broader contribution to sustainable development. The current approach may work for the near future but is perhaps less well suited to long-term risk management which includes highly uncertain future climate risks and potential social
