Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book argues that the future of resilient and liveable cities depends on making ecological systems not a supplement to design, but the scaffolding upon which urban life is built. As the final volume in this trilogy, this book advances the conversation from integrating nature into urbanism to embedding it as a primary design principle. The book explores how communities, engineers, planners, and architects can collaborate to regard streets as climate buffers, rooftops as pollinator habitats, and rivers as civic spaces, where each design choice benefits the ecosystem.The book explores global case studies where the line between the built and natural environment is deliberately blurred. These examples demonstrate how design can be a tool for ecological recovery, from neighborhoods that use natural plants as a passive cooling system to cities that have completely remade districts around restored watersheds. It explores the technology tools that are allowing designers to forecast long-term ecological implications prior to construction.Beyond infrastructure, the book explores the governance and cultural frameworks that enable these changes, demonstrating how community stewardship and innovative policymaking can lock in ecological gains over many years. It views nature as an active partner in forming urban futures rather than just an aesthetic effect or source of environmental services. The book presents a vision of urban settings in which every building, roadway, and public area is transformed into a location where nature can coexist peacefully with human activity.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - As the second volume of this trilogy focused on nature in cities, this book focuses on global case study examples relevant to nature-based urbanism . As a relatively newer field of research, nature-based urbanism encompasses the integration of ecological systems into the planning, design, and management of urban environments, ensuring that cities function not just as human habitats but as active components of broader natural systems. Nature-based urbanism is positioned as a revolutionary method of urban development in the Anthropocene by integrating ecosystem services, cultural values, and climate adaptability. This book makes the case that understanding nature as a co-creator of urban life, rather than just a source of inspiration, is essential to the future of cities. In doing so, it presents a picture of cities as living, breathing landscapes that are resilient, adaptive, and intricately linked to the ecological systems that support them.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents nature as the fundamental infrastructure for sustainable urban living rather than as an aesthetic afterthought in the face of cities' mounting problems, which range from biodiversity loss and climate change to public health disparities. The first section, Nature and Wellbeing, explores the critical relationship between human health and access to nature, providing evidence-based perspectives on the ways in which urban forests, green spaces, and landscapes rich in biodiversity support mental, physical, and social well-being. In addition to highlighting initiatives that bridge the green divide in marginalized groups and highlighting the pressing need for fair access to nature, it offers case studies that demonstrate how design and policy may incorporate nature as a fundamental factor in determining public health. Nature-based solutions (NBS) that protect urban populations from climate impacts and strengthen ecological integrity are highlighted in the second section, Nature and Climate Resilience. The book highlights nature as a proactive factor in climate resilience planning through examinations of coastal adaptation, wetland regeneration, and urban green infrastructure. It discusses the governance structures, ecosystem services, and policy frameworks that allow cities to strategically incorporate nature into their responses to environmental deterioration, flooding, and heat stress. The book explores how biophilic design, cultural narratives, and technology innovation come together to create urban settings where nature becomes essential to identity, function, and community in its last section, Nature-driven Placemaking. This section highlights how environment can inspire, connect, and economically empower people through everything from participatory planning techniques to imaginative depictions of urban wildlife. Altogether, Nature in Cities, Nurturing Cities presents a strong case for purposefully, inclusively, and resiliently integrating nature into the urban fabric.…
