Water City presents practical solutions to address the environmental challenges posed by 21st-century cities in the face of climate change. The dense compact nature of contemporary cities makes it challenging to develop urban resilience to the impacts of climate change, particularly coastal and pluvial flooding. This book introduces a design-led remediation methodology that reimagines the city as a series of hydrological and ecological systems. Through six case studies, located in the UK, USA, New Zealand, and China, the methodology is tested and illustrated with GIS maps and perspectives. Specific solutions to the environmental problems exacerbated by climate change are presented, offering adaptation strategies to help practitioners in the urban landscape address these challenges and create more livable cities. This practical guide is essential for professionals and stakeholders in landscape architecture, urban design, planning, and anyone interested in understanding the future impacts of climate change on urban environments.
