Der Klimawandel ist eine der großen Zukunftsherausforderungen von Städten. Die Landschaftsarchitektur ist hier besonders gefragt, gerade weil sie eine Vielfalt an Lösungsansätzen bereithält, die sich durch Komplexität und Interdisziplinarität auszeichnen und zur Qualität des Alltagslebens beitragen. Diese reichen von Dach- und Fassadenbegrünungen über Urban Gardening bis hin zur landschaftlichen Gestaltung großer Schutzanlagen. Dieser Band präsentiert Maßnahmen und Planungen von elf Großstädten in Nord- und Südamerika, von Vancouver bis Rio de Janeiro, die ihre Bewohner und deren Lebensraum in ihrem klimatischen Kontext gegen zukünftige Stürme, Überflutungen, Hangrutschungen oder lange Hitze- und Trockenperioden schützen sollen. Die Autorin thematisiert auch die sozialen und kulturellen Dimensionen von Resilienz.

Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life. These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the landscaping of large-scale protection works. This volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides or long periods of heat and drought. Outstanding projects in the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of resilience.
