内容简介

　　The complete guide to planning and design for watersustainability, as well as flooding and natural disasters
　　Architects, urban planners, and urban designers, as well aswater resources engineers and landscape architects will discoverthat Design for Flooding presents the best practices and lessons tocreate buildings and communities that are more resilient in theface of severe weather, climate change, and the prospect of risingsea level.
　　Design for Flooding covers technical and institutionalissues—along with new design and business opportunities—builtupon:
　　Fundamentals of climate and weather, stormwater and floodplainmanagement
　　Best practices of flood-resistant design and adaption to sealevel rise
　　Multidisciplinary design that integrates sound ecological andengineering principles
　　Innovative design and construction to protect and improvewater security

The complete guide to planning and design for water
sustainability, as well as flooding and natural disasters
　　Architects, urban planners, and urban designers, as well as
water resources engineers and landscape architects will discover
that Design for Flooding presents the best practices and lessons to
create buildings and communities that are more resilient in the
face of severe weather, climate change, and the prospect of rising
sea level.
　　Design for Flooding covers technical and institutional
issues—along with new design and business opportunities—built
upon:
　　Fundamentals of climate and weather, stormwater and floodplain
management
　　Best practices of flood-resistant design and adaption to sea
level rise
　　Multidisciplinary design that integrates sound ecological and
engineering principles
　　Innovative design and construction to protect and improve
water security
　　"Design for Flooding defines the need and opportunity for
planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, and
conservation biologists to work together to develop the mix of
inland and coastal flooding solutions required for a comprehensive
response to climate change."
　　—From the Foreword by Daniel Williams, FAIA, author of
Sustainable Design: Ecology, Architecture, and Planning
　　"Design for Flooding should be a major tool for the design
professions, for public agencies, and for civic activists, indeed
for everyone who wishes to bring a genuinely 'intelligent' design
for water to their communities. It is a call to action and
demonstrates that we have the knowledge, the tools, and the
capability to better manage the water system on which we
depend."
　　—From the Foreword by Carol Franklin, FASLA
　　A portfolio of award-winning designs illustrates practical and
visionary projects to prepare for a resilient future,
including:
　　A case study of Climate's Long-term Impacts on Metro Boston
(CLIMB) analyzes four alternatives to prepare for climate
change
　　A design charrette sponsored by The Regional Plan Association
of New York illustrates creative concepts for waterfront
revitalization and flood protection
　　Lessons from the Netherlands, Japan, and the United States
indicate the effectiveness of long-term preparedness planning
combined with phased mitigation and renewal projects
　　Examples include renovations and small buildings, showing how
every project at any scale is a design opportunity to increase the
sustainability and resilience of our communities, water, and
ecosystem services
