THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO PLANNING AND DESIGN FOR WATER SUSTAINABILITY, AS WELLAS FLOODING AND NATURAL DISASTERSArchitects, urban planners, and urban designers, as well as water resources engineers and landscape architects will discover that Design for Flooding presents the best practices and lessons to create buildings and communities that are more resilient in the face of severe weather, climate change, and the prospect of rising sea level.
Design for Flooding covers technical and institutional issues—along with new design and business opportunities—built upon:
• Fundamentals of climate and weather, stormwater and fl oodplain management
• Best practices of fl ood-resistant design and adaption to sea level rise
• Multidisciplinary design that integrates sound ecological and engineering principles
• Innovative design and construction to protect and improve water security
“Design for Flooding defi nes the need and opportunity for planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, and conservation biologists to work together to develop the mix of inland and coastal fl ooding solutions required for a comprehensive response to climate change.”
—From the Foreword by Daniel Williams, FAIA, author of Sustainable Design: Ecology, Architecture, and Planning
“Design for Flooding should be a major tool for the design professions, for public agencies, and for civic activists, indeed for everyone who wishes to bring a genuinely ‘intelligent’ design for water to their communities. It is a call to action and demonstrates that we have the knowledge, the tools, and the capability to better manage the water system on which we depend.”
—From the Foreword by Carol Franklin, FASLA
A portfolio of award-winning designs illustrates practical and visionary projects to prepare for a resilient future, including:
• A case study of Climate’s Long-term Impacts on Metro Boston (CLIMB) analyzes four alternatives to prepare for climate change
• A design charrette sponsored by The Regional Plan Association of New York illustrates creative concepts for waterfront revitalization and fl ood protection
• Lessons from the Netherlands, Japan, and the United States indicate the effectiveness of long-term preparedness planning combined with phased mitigation and renewal projects
• Examples include renovations and small buildings, showing how every project at any scale is a design opportunity to increase the sustainability and resilience of our communities, water, and ecosystem services
DONALD WATSON, FAIA, an architect and planner, is former chair of the Yale School of Architecture Environmental Design Program, and former professor and dean of the School of Architecture, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He received the 2002 ACSA Distinguished Professor Award and the 2005 AARC Haecker Leadership Award for Architectural Research. His publications include Climatic Building Design, winner in the Architecture and Urban Planning category of the American Publishers Award for Professional and Scholarly Excellence.
MICHELE ADAMS, P.E., a water resources engineer, is principal and founder of Meliora Environmental Design in Kimberton, Pennsylvania. Her work encompasses environ- mentally sensitive site design and sustainable water resources engineering.

A must-have guide for anyone working with landscapes, Sustainable Landscape Management eases the transition of
the landscape industry into a new era of green consciousness. Filled with examples that illustrate best practices, the book provides a practical framework for the development of sustainable management strategies from design to execution and, eventually, to maintenance in an effort to construct landscapes that function more effi ciently and minimize the impact on the environment. Sustainable Landscape Management includes:
■ An overview of sustainable design and construction techniques as the basis for the maintenance and management of constructed landscapes
■ Coverage of ecosystem development, managing landscape beds, managing trees and shrubs, and lawn care
■ An entire chapter devoted to issues associated with the use of chemicals in landscape management
■ Guidance on retrofi tting existing landscapes for sustainability
Reshaping the landscape takes on more signifi cance as society embraces a new value system for advancing environmentally friendly ideals. By following the management principles laid out in this book, readers will learn the key elements for building landscapes that integrate beauty and function to create a sustainable presence that extends well into the future.
