Description



Book Synopsis



Der Klimawandel ist eine der großen Zukunftsherausforderungen von Städten. Die Landschaftsarchitektur ist hier besonders gefragt, gerade weil sie eine Vielfalt an Lösungsansätzen bereithält, die sich durch Komplexität und Interdisziplinarität auszeichnen und zur Qualität des Alltagslebens beitragen. Diese reichen von Dach- und Fassadenbegrünungen über Urban Gardening bis hin zur landschaftlichen Gestaltung großer Schutzanlagen.

Dieser Band präsentiert Maßnahmen und Planungen von elf Großstädten in Nord- und Südamerika, von Vancouver bis Rio de Janeiro, die ihre Bewohner und deren Lebensraum in ihrem klimatischen Kontext gegen zukünftige Stürme, Überflutungen, Hangrutschungen oder lange Hitze- und Trockenperioden schützen sollen. Die Autorin thematisiert auch die sozialen und kulturellen Dimensionen von Resilienz.



Review Quotes




"A dive into 11 in-depth case studies of cities across North and South
America, this well-researched book makes the case for landscape
architecture as the new infrastructure cities need to adapt to climate
change." (Best Books of 2021, The American Society of Landscape Architects)
