'Cartographies of Catastrophes' is an in-depth exploration of how disasters, caused by war or natural calamity, have been documented and mapped over the past two centuries. This interdisciplinary volume brings together historians, urban planners, and architects to examine the role of maps in understanding, responding to, and rebuilding after catastrophic events. From the Greek War of Independence to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, this book offers a unique perspective on how maps shape our perception of disasters and their aftermath. With case studies spanning Europe, it provides a compelling narrative of resilience, reconstruction, and the enduring impact of catastrophe on cities and landscapes. Essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of history, cartography, and urban planning.
