'Floodscapes' tells the multifaceted story of humankind's relationship with flooding, oscillating between fight and symbiosis. Modern water engineering has turned plains and valleys into fully inhabitable environments. At the same time, they have become rigid and highly vulnerable to climate change. In ground-breaking efforts to prevent future floods, countries are rediscovering adaptation strategies: making room for flooding, redistributing risks and reconsidering the use and legal status of floodplains. Through historical investigations and through the analysis of six contemporary projects implemented in four European countries, 'Floodscapes' illustrates how flood-mitigation measures can be embedded in local space and culture. Merged with landscape development, agriculture, recreation, nature and even urban growth, river management becomes a design issue again, giving landscape architects and urban designers a prominent role in future transitions

Flussufer in der Stadt sind attraktive Orte von hohem Aufenthaltswert. Das Gestalten solcher urbanen Flusslandschaften ist vielfältigen Anforderungen unterworfen: es gilt, Hochwasserschutz, Freiraumgestaltung und Ökologie in Einklang zu bringen, häufig auf sehr beengtem Raum.Das Buch ist Ergebnis einer mehrjährigen Studie, in der zahlreiche vorbildliche Projekte einer vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen wurden. Daraus entstand ein systematischer Katalog sinnvoller Strategien und innovativer Gestaltungselemente. Der Gestalter und Planer erhält so erstmals einen Überblick über das Spektrum der zahlreichen entwurflichen Möglichkeiten.Für die überarbeitete Neuausgabe wurden zehn aktuelle Projekte, vor allem aus Nordamerika, ausgewählt und dokumentiert. 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.
