This rhetoric ultimately leads to some perverse responses to disasters; first, it may
lead to policies and practice that only address symptoms but are hesitant to target
the structural causes of vulnerability to hazards (Oliver-Smith, 2004). In addition,
we enter a vicious cycle where too much emphasis is put on natural processes,
while the social framework within which these processes manifest themselves is
neglected (Oliver-Smith, 2004; Masozera et al., 2007). Consequently, this produces,
as Swyngedouw (2006, p.117) eloquently describes it, “a spectacularized vision of
the dystopian city whose fate is directly related to faith in the administrations,
engineers and technicians who make sure the taps keeps flowing and land keeps
being ‘developed’”.
