Resilience, the ability of complex systems to adapt to changing conditions, is a key frontier in ecological research and is especially relevant in creative urban design, as urban areas exemplify complex systems. With something approaching half of the world’s population now residing in coastal urban zones, many of which are vulnerable both to floods originating inland and rising sea levels, making urban areas more robust in the face of environmental threats must be a policy ambition of the highest priority..The complexity of urban areas results from their spatial heterogeneity, their intertwined material and energy fluxes, and the integration of social and natural processes. All of these features can be altered by intentional planning and design. The complex, integrated suite of urban structures and processes together affect the adaptive resilience of urban systems, but also presupposes that planners can intervene in positive ways. As examples accumulate of linkage between sustainability and building/landscape design, such as the Shanghai Che | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | Landscape architecture; Social aspects; Sustainable development; Urban design; Urban ecology; landscape/r | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-5341-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-5343-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-5341-9Series ISSN 1876-0899 Series E-ISSN 1876-0880 | issn_series | 1876-0899 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013 |
