Acknowledgements
Two funding sources enabled the production of this book. The Asia Research Institute of the National University of Singapore made possible the International Conference on Disaster Governance: The Urban Transition in Asia (07–08 November 2013), which provided the initial impetus for producing this edited collection through the conversations generated by the event as well as through the written contributions of selected presenters. The project also benefited from the financial support of a Singapore Ministry of Education Academic Research Fund Tier 2 grant entitled ‘Governing Compound Disasters in Urbanising Asia’ (MOE2014-T2-1-017). For their overall administration of this project, we thank Valerie Yeo, Sharon Ong, Jonathan Lee, Henry Kwan and Kristy Won. For their constructive comments on earlier iterations of the chapters in this book, we are grateful to Robin Bush, Helen James, Rita Padawangi, Andrew Rumbach and Jerome Whitington. Thank you also to the anonymous reviewers who helped to improve the quality of this manuscript
