Disasters are increasing in frequency and severity, disproportionately affecting developing countries due to their high social, economic, political and cultural vulnerabilities. Despite the destruction, Post-Disaster Reconstruction (PDR) presents a significant multiplier effect on the construction industry. The industry should be prepared to support the rebuilding of economies after disasters, through the provision of sound infrastructure and human habitats. Drawing on the wide-ranging but poorly integrated extant literature, this chapter reviews and critically analyses means to enhance the capacity, planning and preparation for contingencies of construction industries for PDR in developing countries, offering a foundation for the industries to harness reconstruction opportunities to improve the quality of life of people. Further, this chapter provides a way forward for future research in disaster management and the built environment by proposing key research themes on PDR, highlighting the importance of adopting a multi-disciplinary approach in the studies.
