The Wenchuan Earthquake affected a wide spectrum of rural and urban settlements in varying geographic contexts across a large area. The government quickly devised four categories of damage for the provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan: (i) extremely affected, (ii) heavily affected, (iii) moderately affected, and (iv) affected areas. Analysis of the then-interim information on affected towns, townships, counties, and cities suggested that settlement planning efforts would need to respond to very different contexts. 2012-08-13T10:29:01Z 2012-08-13T10:29:01Z 2010-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2010/12/13337555/planning-urban-township-settlements-after-earthquake http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10122 English EAP DRM Knowledge Notes; No. 4 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific
