The current climate crisis and the rapid transformation of the natural environments will inevitably pose a threat to human settlements around the world. This book explores possible local strategies and global solutions in the safeguarding of coastal cities and the often-neglected urban waterfronts, in terms of a more effective integration with the city, whilst paying attention to the mitigation of the risks related to climate change.
Designers, administrators and engineers need to start developing various scenarios and possible solutions to tackle the inevitable transformation which is currently unfolding. This edited book contains essays which discuss several themes related to the effects of climate change on waterfronts, looking at Japan’s experience and other international case studies. Collectively, they provide a multi-faceted analysis of selected projects and relevant urban experiences and practices which address issues such as the environmental disruption and the need for more efficient and sustainable forms of regeneration and urban renewal practice for the waterfronts.
The volume will appeal to architects, planners, geographers and general readers with an interest in landscape design and social science in an international context, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the disciplines of built environment.
