Cities that were destroyed and rebuilt

Kobe’s Recovery from the Great Hanshin Earthquake

In 1995, the Great Hanshin Earthquake struck Kobe, causing widespread devastation. The recovery process began swiftly but eventually took about a decade with infrastructure and community support systems rebuilt to withstand future quakes.

Today, Kobe stands as a model for disaster preparedness and recovery, with a focus on resilience through education and innovation. The city’s ability to bounce back from disaster serves as a powerful example of human determination and technological advancement.
