Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Landscape Architecture for Coastal Cities is a timely and ambitious guide to one of the defining design challenges of the twenty-first century: how to shape coastal cities that are resilient, inclusive, ecologically grounded, and publicly meaningful in an era of rising seas, intensifying storms, and accelerating urban change.Written by Dr. Nia Adusei and Prof. Daan Jansen, this book brings together landscape architecture, coastal engineering, ecology, hydrology, urban design, planning, governance, and public-realm thinking into a single, integrated framework for practice. Rather than treating the shoreline as a fixed boundary to defend, the book approaches the coast as a living, dynamic system-one that must be understood, designed, and managed through change.Structured across foundations, tools and methods, coastal typologies, implementation pathways, and future-facing design ethics, the book moves from first principles to real-world application. It explores how to read coastal landscapes, work with water across scales, design living shorelines and blue-green infrastructure, shape waterfront public spaces, retrofit vulnerable neighborhoods, collaborate across disciplines, and deliver projects through policy, finance, construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship.Rich in practical insight, the book also examines the deeper cultural and political questions of the urban coast: public access, heritage, climate justice, displacement, community participation, and the right to the waterfront. Throughout, it argues that landscape architecture has a central role to play-not only in making coastal cities safer, but in making them more generous, adaptive, and alive.Designed for students, practitioners, public agencies, urban leaders, and interdisciplinary teams, Landscape Architecture for Coastal Cities offers both a conceptual lens and a working toolkit for anyone engaged in the future of the coastal urban edge.This is not simply a book about resilience. It is a book about designing with water, designing with uncertainty, and designing for a moving shoreline. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
