Summary

The Special Issue, "The Adaptability of Residential Planning and Design to World-Changing Events," explores innovative approaches to residential design that can effectively respond to short-, medium-, and long-term challenges posed by recent extreme events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, armed conflicts, and devastating natural disasters. It provides a comprehensive guide to creating residential environments that are not only resilient to the immediate impact of these events but also adaptable to the ongoing challenges and shifts in society. This holistic approach to residential planning and design will pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient future for our communities.This Special issue aims to reach a wide range of professionals and researchers involved in the fields of architecture, urban planning, engineering, public safety, and disaster management. This will also be of interest to policymakers, developers, and homeowners seeking to create more resilient and adaptable residential environments through the development of new building codes, urban planning strategies, and design guidelines.
