Flussufer in der Stadt sind attraktive Orte von hohem Aufenthaltswert. Das Gestalten solcher urbanen Flusslandschaften ist vielfältigen Anforderungen unterworfen: Hochwasserschutz, Freiraumgestaltung und Ökologie sind im Regelfall die drei beherrschenden Themen. Diese gilt es in Einklang zu bringen, häufig auf sehr beengtem Raum. Wichtig ist es dabei, den Fluss in seiner Prozesshaftigkeit zu begreifen: Bedingt durch wechselnde Wasserstände, Jahreszeiten und Erosions- sowie Sedimentierungsprozesse, ist der Flussraum kein statisches Gebilde sondern einem steten Wandel unterworfen – die Gestaltung muss flexibel sein und dies berücksichtigen. Das Buch ist Ergebnis einer mehrjährigen Studie, in der über 50 Projekte aus dem westeuropäischen Raum einer vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen wurden. Aus diesen Analysen entstand ein systematischer Katalog sinnvoller Strategien und innovativer Gestaltungselemente. Dem Gestalter und Planer wird erstmals ein Überblick über das Spektrum der zahlreichen entwurflichen Möglichkeiten gegeben. Der prozessorientierte Ansatz des Buches ist insbesondere dann sehr hilfreich, wenn es um langfristige und nachhaltige Maßnahmen geht. Das Buch besteht aus zwei miteinander verbundenen Teilen, die das parallele Betrachten von systematischem Katalog und Beispielteil erlauben. Die übersichtliche Navigation und ein ausführliches Glossar geben zusätzliche Orientierung, und die außergewöhnliche Gestaltung macht dieses Werk auch visuell ansprechend und lädt zum Blättern und Entdecken ein.

Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. The designs of urban river landscapes must fulfill a broad range of requirements: flood control, open space design, and ecology are as a rule the three dominant themes, and they must often be reconciled within a very restricted space. The river must be understood as a process: governed by changing water levels, shifting seasons, erosion, and sedimentation, the river environment is not a static entity but constantly changing—the design must be flexible and take this into account. This book is the product of a multi-year study that subjected more than fifty Western European projects to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalog of effective strategies and innovative design elements. First, designers and planners are given an overview of the broad and varied spectrum of design possibilities. The book’s process-oriented approach is especially helpful where the focus is on long-term, sustainable measures. The publication consists of two linked volumes that enable the reader to consult the systematic catalog and the case study section side by side. The easy-to-navigate structure and an extensive glossary provide further guidance, while the work’s highly distinctive design makes it visually appealing as well and invites the reader to leaf through and explore it.

This book aims to fill this gap and serve as a primer and reference for designers of urban spaces.‹ River.Space.Design. is absolutely successful in this regard and will hopefully inspire designers to find ways new ways to engage their community’s rivers."
