“…Many authors deplore the fact that planning exercises are limited to establishing routines and formal plans that will rarely be put into practice (Comfort, 2005;McEntire & Myers, 2004;Perry & Lindell, 2003a) rather than situating planning within an ongoing process to improve the organization's intrinsic preparedness to cope with crises (Boin & Lagadec, 2000;Robert & Lajtah, 2003;Pearce, 2003). According to Perry and Lindell (2003a), a serious and rigorous approach to crisis planning and preparedness should be based on four major components: 1) evaluating the risks (vulnerability assessment); 2) evaluating the ability of the organization and community to cope with crises (capacity assessment); 3) developing and maintaining the skills of individual responders; and 4) establishing a flexible structure that can be deployed quickly when a crisis arises.…”

“…This combination of difficult tasks and emerging challenges seems to render obsolete traditional ways of organising for crises (Boin and Lagadec, 2000). If this is the case, we ask, what answers do urban cities produce?…”

Public leaders face a set of crisis management tasks that are not easy to fulfill. It becomes especially challenging in large cities, which bring together potentially dangerous technologies and large masses of people. Coping with an emerging crisis in this context is a daunting task, if only because of infrastructural bottle necks and a lack of available means. What answers do city governments produce? For a particular interesting development, we turn to a group of French large cities which have seen the emergence of a new form of risk management: the integrated risk institute. In this article, we briefly survey emerging developments and challenges in these cities and formulate questions for a research agenda on urban crisis management.
