- Summary:
- Flussufer in der Stadt sind attraktive Orte von hohem Aufenthaltswert. Das Gestalten solcher urbanen Flusslandschaften ist vielfältigen Anforderungen unterworfen: es gilt, Hochwasserschutz, Freiraumgestaltung und Ökologie in Einklang zu bringen, häufig auf sehr beengtem Raum.Das Buch ist Ergebnis einer mehrjährigen Studie, in der mehr als 60 vorbildliche Projekte einer vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen wurden. Daraus entstand ein systematischer Katalog sinnvoller Strategien und innovativer Gestaltungselemente. Der Gestalter und Planer erhält so erstmals einen Überblick über das Spektrum der zahlreichen entwurflichen Möglichkeiten. Für die überarbeitete und erweiterte Neuausgabe wurden acht aktuelle Projekte aus China, Neuseeland, Deutschland, den Niederlanden und Italien hinzugefügt.
- Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer in very confined spaces. The book, the result of a study lasting several years, subjects more than 60 exemplary projects to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalogue of strategies and innovative design tools. The designer and planner thus obtains an overview of the range of design possibilities. Eight new case studies from China, Italy, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland were selected and added for the enlarged edition of this reference work on riverbank design.
