This chapter constructs a Human Settlement Resilience Framework and interventionist strategies. These strategies are based on the premise that resilience can be built into human settlement development.enEcosystem resilienceHuman settlements resilienceHuman Settlement Resilience FrameworkHuman settlement developmentClimate changeBuilding resilient human settlements in a climate of changeBook ChapterVan Wyk, L.
