Sustainable Coastal Design and Planning de Elizabeth Mossop

Sustainable Coastal Design and Planning

Editat de Elizabeth Mossop
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020
As different parts of the globe deal with the challenges of coastal settlements in the Anthropcene landscape of increasing uncertainty, the methods of design offer new strategies for developing and testing solutions. These complex problems require collaboration across disciplines, with scientists, planners, engineers, designers, and others able to work together in finding new ways of living in coastal and changing landscapes.


Sustainable Coastal Design and Planning is an outstanding collection of essays by leading practitioners and academics from across the globe on design and planning for coastal resilience in the face of climate change. It thoroughly explores the questions of coastal change at different scales and provides international case studies that illustrate diverse strategies in different geographies and cultures. Taken as a whole, they canvas a broad palette of approaches and techniques for engaging these complex problems.


Divided in two parts, this book focuses on how to develop solutions through multidisciplinary design thinking and informs all stakeholders on specific methods and practices that will be needed to work effectively in this dynamic space.

Descriere

This book discusses contemporary ideas about planning and design for coastal resilience. It provides an alternative presentation of the issues and solutions and examines strategies that work with natural processes to incorporate water into the urban environment, designing places and structures that can accommodate flooding and water storage.
