Communities in Crisis

on BBC Radio 4 FM

What is it that holds a community together? It is only in a crisis that the skeleton of a community is exposed.
The third of four programmes in which Margaret Percy looks at how communities have coped with very different types of crisis.
Earthquake
In 1980, 3,000 people died and almost 500,000 were made homeless when an earthquake struck Naples and the surrounding villages in southern Italy. Five years later, buildings remain in ruins and thousands are still living in squalid container camps, waiting for the hopelessly inefficient authorities to rehouse them.
