Synopsis

Comprehensive handbook of river planning

Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer. This book is the product of extensive research that identified some 60 best-practice examples and subjected them to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalog of effective strategies and innovative design tools that provides readers with an inspiring overview of the broad spectrum of design possibilities for river spaces. Each project is illustrated with photographs taken especially for the book and each design strategy and tool is explained by diagrams.
This revised edition introduces ten new case studies chiefly from North America.

  • Interdisciplinary approach for landscape architects, engineers and other planners

  • Seventy international best-practice examples from Europe, North America and Asia are analyzed

  • Systematic catalog of design methods and tools
