Abstract: We can improve our insights about neighborhood, city, and regional dynamics if we understand them within and acrossmultiple levels, from the individual to the global. Neighborhood and city resilience is threatened by high levels of vulnerability among residents, as amply demonstrated by recent disasters from New Orleans to Port-au-Prince to Peshawar. We know little, however, about the connections between precarious housing conditions, personal vulnerability, and regional resilience. Most work on metropolitan development focuses on neighborhoods within regions, but it is also important to begin at a finer scale of analysispeople and householdsas a foundation for understanding how the concentration of people and housing in space influences regional outcomes.
