The Art of Sustainable Stormwater: Designing Blue-Green Cities explores the needs and possibilities for transforming stormwater engineering into design for ecological and multi-functional urban spaces. With climate change and rapid urbanization causing rainfall runoff to present increasingly severe problems in cities and metropolitan regions, this book shows how stormwater can become an amenity when designers artfully capture, detain, treat and re-use rainwater, using it to generate more habitable and environmentally and socially sustainable cities. Taking a global approach, it provides useful planning and design principles and tools and illustrates inspiring case studies demonstrating how stormwater can contribute positively to natural systems, urban infrastructure, neighborhoods, parks, plazas, streets, and buildings. This book is essential for practitioners and students of landscape architecture and related environmental design fields.
