The paper explores building collapses at the cross-cutting edges of urban sustainability and the socio-economic and political–cultural influences of vulnerability for the phenomenon – in departure from the traditional conceptualisation of the phenomenon as an ‘engineering’ problem. It confers insights into the influences of vulnerability for building collapse in the urban context and makes a case for a deeper level of analysis that places measures to tackle building failures within a comprehensive understanding of the vulnerabilities they are supposed to reduce.

探索城市环境中的建筑物倒塌

本文探讨了在城市可持续性的交叉边缘以及该现象的脆弱性的社会经济和政治文化影响下的建筑倒塌现象，这与传统的将现象视为“工程”问题的概念不同。它提供了有关脆弱性对城市环境中建筑物倒塌的影响的见解，并为进行更深入的分析提供了理由，该分析将解决建筑物故障的措施置于对应减少的脆弱性的全面理解中。
