Landscape Architecture for Sea Level Rise

Because sea level rise is a global issue, illustrative case studies performed from the United States, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, China, and the Netherlands identify the structural (engineered), non-structural (nature-based), and hybrid mechanisms (mixed) used to combat sea level rise and increase flood resilience. The alternative flood risk reduction mechanisms are extracted and analyzed from each case study to develop and explain a set of design-based typologies to combat sea level rise which can then be applied to help proctor new and existing communities.
It is important for those located within the current or future floodplain considering sea level rise and those responsible for land use, developmental, and population-related activities within these areas to strategically implement a series of integrated constructed and green infrastructure-based flood risk reduction mechanisms to adequately protect threatened areas. As a result, this book is beneficial to both academics and practitioners related to multiple design professions such as urban designers, urban planners, architects, real estate developers, and landscape architects.
Reviews / Votes
World Architecture Festival Architecture Book of the Year (2024)"This is an important study of an urgent crisis currently facing many parts of the world, intended to protect communities, their land, and buildings against global sea level rises. It contains ideas and practical solutions from expert contributors around the world. It can be seen as an important state-of-the-art manual for landscape architects, engineers, architects, developers, and politicians. It more than fits the bill by being a full-on technical guide."
Book of the Year Award Committee
"In terms of the global implications of sea-level rise, the future is now. This book acknowledges the urgency of addressing the impacts of sea-level rise in coastal and other at-risk communities by focusing on solutions that address hard and soft engineering and design in a global context."
- Dr. Jennifer Horney, Professor, Founding Director of the Epidemiology Program, Core Faculty of the Disaster Research Center, University of Delaware
"This important book offers practical and evidence-driven design solutions for coastal communities threatened by sea level rise. Through illustrative case studies from around the world the authors offer a range of innovative structural and nature-based solutions that are critical to building community resilience. A must read for anyone interested in how resilience can be advanced through landscape architecture, urban design, and land use planning."
- Dr. Phil Berke, Director, Center for Resilient Communities and Environment, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
"It is rare in the field of flood risk reduction to find international comparisons. Design for Sea Level Rise provides that and more. This book includes integrated analyses of eighteen flood cases from around the world. Impressively illustrated and presented, this piece of work will surely become the benchmark for landscape architects interested in addressing the increasing threat of flooding from sea level rise."
- Dr. Samuel Brody, Director, Center for Texas Beaches and Shores, Professor, Department of Marine and Coastal Environmental Science, Texas A&M University at Galveston
"With its range of well-illustrated case studies from around the world, Design for Sea Level Rise: Global Innovative Solutions seems likely to become an essential resource for designers and planners interested in this central sustainability challenge."
- Dr. Stephen M. Wheeler, Professor, Department of Human Ecology, U.C. Davis
"Sea level rise is much perceived as a worldwide problem not related to people's lives. In this insightful book, Newman and Qiao present a collection of global case studies to combat sea level rise. The design-based typologies and illustrated mechanisms provide valuable knowledge and resources for mitigating rising seas."
- Charlene M. LeBleu, FCELA, FASLA, AICP, Professor, Landscape Architecture, Auburn University

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
