As projects like Manhattan's High Line, Chicago's 606, China's eco-cities, and Ethiopia's tree-planting efforts show, cities around the world are devoting serious resources to urban greening. Formerly neglected urban spaces and new high-end developments draw huge crowds thanks to the considerable efforts of city governments. But why are greening projects so widely taken up, and what good do they do? In 'How Green Became Good', Hillary Angelo uncovers the origins and meanings of the enduring appeal of urban green space, showing that city planners have long thought that creating green spaces would lead to social improvement.

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. 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.

"Frontiers in Sustainable Cities aims to develop a multi-disciplinary academic approach to life in contemporary and future urban environments. The journal publishes rigorously peer-reviewed, cutting-edge research on a broad range of topics, from engineering and urban studies to social sciences, with a focus on achieving sustainable living processes within future urban landscapes (in line with SDGs). To achieve resilience, environmental health, people's inclusion, equality and healthy living in the face of the severe economical and environmental challenges facing the world today, international collaboration across all disciplines is required, including aspects on energy engineering, human geography and economics, architecture, governance and political science, public health, natural and behavioural science."

This book contains five research articles and one review article derived from the 6th Fabos Conference on Greenway Planning held at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in April of 2019. Specific topics covered include greenway planning and analysis for urban morphology, typology, climate change impact and recreational and health usage, in addition to historic greenway restoration. All the articles illustrate multidisciplinary approaches for analyzing urban greenway functions within expanding and contracting cities.

There is pressing evidence of phenomena, linked to meteorology and climate, which are modifying their temporal occurrence and which have a very evident impact on the safety and health of populations residing in cities. The urban problem at the beginning of the second set of twenty years of the new century requires a complete rethinking of the way of aggregation of man who, today, represents a large part of the world population due to increasingly accelerated urbanization processes over time. The human being has become a citizen, and within the city limits, he tries to develop his life expectancy by seizing opportunities from this. This search for well-being, understood as a complete state of man, at once physiological and psychological and social, can be thwarted by an urban structure that is not functionally capable of providing answers. The climate problem exacerbates this problem by strongly stressing the contradictions of living. Science, technology, and politics are today able to give answers if applied wisely in a joint effort, in a unit of language. This book proposes several solutions that can be implemented today, ranging from a full understanding of phenomena to adaptation policies for solving problems. The most pressing invitation is addressed precisely to politics to make cities more resilient and safe.
