Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life. These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the landscaping of large-scale protection works. This volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides or long periods of heat and drought. Outstanding projects in the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of resilience.

The current discourse on urban planning is imbued with the concept of the smart city. The smart city is based on innovative urban planning, which itself is based on smart technologies that not only make cities safer and cleaner, but also (and especially) more efficient. But is this actually making cities any better? In this book, Maarten Hajer and Ton Dassen 'PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency' argue for 'smart urban planning', thereby providing a counterweight to the uncritical embrace of the smart city. Smart urban planning aims at finding solutions to what twentieth-century urban planning forgot: the metabolism of cities, i.e. the wide variety of incoming and outgoing flows that connect urban life with nature. This metabolism is visualized in 50 infographics, giving us answers to questions such as: what do cities live off of? How much water, food, construction materials, and other materials do they use? What amount of those materials do they dispose of? How effective is the metabolism? This book makes an appeal for 'globalnetwork urban planning', in which technology is not a panacea but instead is anchored in social innovations.

Der Band der Reihe zur zeitgenössischen Landschaftsarchitektur behandelt die Steigerung der Lebensqualität durch die planerische Aufwertung des Wohnumfeldes und höhere Qualität des öffentlichen Raumes. Wie grün werden wir wohnen? Welches sind die wesentlichen Kriterien einer gelungenen Freiraumplanung im Wohnungsbau? Wird eine veränderte Beziehung zwischen Stadt und Land dazu beitragen, vielleicht in Form einer urbanen Landwirtschaft?Das Buch begleitet den Deutschen Landschaftsarchitektur-Preis 2011, den Sonderpreis Wohnumfeld und den international größten Ideenwettbewerb für Studierende und Berufsanfänger zum Thema Landschaftsarchitektur und Freiraumplanung, den Peter-Joseph-Lenné-Preis. In einer erneuerten Gestaltung und überarbeitetem Aufbau zeigen die Beiträge und Projektdarstellungen des Buches, mit welchen Strategien die Profession den neuen Herausforderungen begegnet. This volume in the series on contemporary landscape architecture is concerned with how life quality can be increased by improving our living environment through planning and raising the quality of public space. How green do we want our housing to be? What are the essential criteria of a successful planning of open space in residential architecture? Will the changed relationship between city and country contribute to that, perhaps in the form of urban agriculture?This book was published on the occasion of the German Landscape Architecture Award 2011, the Special Housing Environment Award, and the largest competition for ideas from students and young professionals in landscape architecture and open space planning: the Peter Joseph Lenné Award. With a revised design and reworked structure, the essays and project descriptions in the book reveal the strategies with which the profession is meeting new challenges.

Duurzame stedenbouw is geen utopie. Concepten als ‘CO2-neutraal’, ‘klimaatbestendig’ en ‘cradle tot cradle’ zijn inmiddels vanzelfsprekend in de dagelijkse bouwpraktijk. Duurzame stedenbouw wordt steeds meer de drager van duurzame ruimtelijke ontwikkeling. The next step brengt de actuele discussies, kennisontwikkeling en inzichten onder de aandacht en geeft nieuwe en geactualiseerde voorbeelden van geslaagde projecten. The next step is een compleet herziene uitgave van Duurzame stedenbouw, perspectieven en voorbeelden, dat in 2005 verscheen. Uitgave in samenwerking met Stichting Beursloge Projecten. In opdracht van het ministerie van VROM, de Stuurgroep Experimenten Volkshuisvesting, SenterNovem en Habiforum Urban planning and design faces the enormous challenge of creating and maintaining liveable towns and cities. Sustainability must be the guiding principle. Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step reviews the current situation in the development of sustainable urban design. This book is a fully revised edition of Sustainable Urban Design – Examples and Perspectives (2005). The publication received the Gerd Albers Award for the best publication from the International Society of City and Regional Planners (ISOCARP).Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step has been compiled by an interdisciplinairy working group of urban designers, planners and landscape architects. The publication contains three essays that review the latest developments. The most important recent topics are discussed in a round table discussion. Six example projects, either new or fully revised and updated, clearly show that sustainable urban design is no utopia, but is undergoing continual development in practice and is becoming an integral and essential part of modern urban design. With more than thirty background texts and reference projects from the Netherlands and elsewhere, Sustainable Urban Design – The Next Step is the most up to date and complete standard work on sustainable urban design.
