    Making Green Cities : Concepts, Challenges and Practice (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Sociology, Urban. ; Sustainable architecture. ; Urban ecology (Biology). ; Landscape ecology. ; Urban Sociology. ; Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. ; Urban Ecology. ; Landscape Ecology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Part 1: Concepts -- Chapter 1. The Green City: general concept -- Chapter 2. The nature concept - of what the green consist of -- Chapter 3. The benefit concept - How people can benefit from urban nature -- Part 2: Challenges and Practices -- Chapter 4. Urban Parks -- Chapter 5. Urban Gardening -- Chapter 6. Urban Agriculture -- Chapter 7. Urban Forests -- Chapter 8. Urban waters and wetlands -- Chapter 9. Urban Protected Areas -- Chapter 10. Urban Biodiversity -- Chapter 11. Multi-functional urban green spaces -- Chapter 12. Conflicting nature in cities. .
    Abstract: This book shows what role nature can play in a city and how this can make it a better place for people to live. People, planners, designers and politicians are working towards the development of green cities. Some cities are already promoted as green cities, while others are on their way to become one. But their goals are often unclear and can include different facets. Presenting contributions from world leading researchers in the field of urban ecology, the editors provide an interdisciplinary overview of best practices and challenges in creating green cities. They show examples of how to build up these cities from bits and pieces to districts and urban extensions. Each example concludes with a summary of the collected knowledge, the learning points and how this can be used in other places. The best practices are collected from around the world – Europe, Australia, America and Asia. The new dynamic urban development of Asia is illustrated by case studies from China and the Indian subcontinent. The reader will learn which role nature can play in green cities and what the basic requirements are in terms of culture, pre-existing nature conditions, existing urban surroundings, history, design and planning. .

    Rainwater Infiltration in Urban Areas (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Pollution. ; Water. ; Hydrology. ; Physical geography. ; Geology. ; Pollution. ; Water. ; Earth System Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Introduction -- 2. Urban hydrology -- 3. Research of rainwater infiltration -- 4. Percolation facilities -- 5. Legislation – technical standards -- 6. Results of research- Design of percolation facility -- 7. Recommendations.
    Abstract: The book presents a comprehensive study of the percolation of water from surface runoff with a focus on the retention capacity and intensity of precipitation. Discussing the state of the art in scientific knowledge and solutions for the infiltration of water from surface runoff, the book addresses a wide variety of rainwater management issues, from precipitation, surface runoff and water infiltration, to impact on the drainage system. Although modern urban hydrology has improved the management of rainwater runoff for flood protection, public health, and environmental protection, current methods of drainage in urban areas mean that there is a continued threat to the regime of water flow and water resources. In this context, the book presents a new approach to rainwater management based on a unique fusion of hydrology, hydrogeology, urban engineering, and water management. It also includes research findings that are helpful in developing recommendations and technical guidelines for the use of infiltration systems in urban areas.

    Abstract: The costs of damages caused by extreme weather events, among which floods are a major category, are showing a rapid upward trend, both globally and in Europe. Scope and extremity of flood episodes point to the need to build a comprehensive proposal including the completion of flood protection measures in areas exposed to flood risk. The aim of flood risk management is to present flood protection measures. This book presents the state of the art of essential knowledge on methods and tools of flood risk assessment and management to young researchers, academics, lecturers and water management practitioners. This book is dedicated to flood damage assessment focused on social, economic and environmental damages management. Its objectives are to develop a general methodology for flood risk assessment and to present a choice of effective flood protection methods according the objectives of flood risk management.
