English transcription: International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering. In an effort to alleviate the destructive effects of earthquakes, the United Nations Development Programme, with UNESCO acting as executing Agency, is assisting the Japanese Government in the expansion of the International Institute of Seismology and Earthquake Engineering. The purpose of this project is to further develop the training programme for specialists as well as the advisory services offered to developing countries located in the seismic zones of the world. As a result of extensive research, new techniques have been developed which increase the toughness of the buildings in resisting earthquake attacks and thus now allow the construction of tall buildings like this new World Trade Centre.

Le but de ce projet est de développer le programme de formation de spécialistes en sismologie et de fournir l'assistance technique nécessaire aux pays en voie de développement situés dans les zones sismiques de notre globe. Grâce à des études approfondies, des nouvelles techniques ont été mises au point qui augmentent la résistance des constructions en cas de tremblement de terre. L'immeuble du Centre du Commerce International dont nous voyons ici un détail de construction est un modèle du genre.
