Review: This publication takes an in-depth look at the risks from the insurance perspective and discusses insurance solutions with a view, for example, to the expected increase in demand for insurance coverage in megacities. Megacities, i.e. conurbations with ten million or more inhabitants, are exposed not only to natural hazards but also and above all to technological risks, environmental hazards, and terrorist attacks.
