Books by Jon Coaffee

This book explores the processes by which the practices of urban security and counter-terrorism have impacted upon the everyday experiences of the Western city.

Security, Resilience and Planning offers key concept and practical guidance about the role of planners in countering terrorist risk, using a range of international case studies.

A compelling and definitive account of why we need to radically rethink our approach to dealing with catastrophic events

Specifically concerned with the two IRA vehicle-bomb attacks on the City of London in 1992 and 1993, this study explores the impact of terrorism and mega-terrorism on security, freedom and the conduct of businesses who have to operate in threatened societies and environments.

Focuses on terrorism and urbanism related to the changing nature of terrorism and the security challenges facing western nations and their cities. This work highlights how London is leading the way in developing best practice in counter-terrorist design and management and how such practice is being internationalised.
