Urban riverbanks are attractive recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer. This book subjected some 60 examples to a comparative analysis and presents a systematic catalog of strategies and tools that provides readers with an overview of design possibilities. This revised edition introduces 12 new case studies.
