This unique book takes an in-depth look at the process of restoring damaged or abandoned landscapes to benefit both nature and people. With a focus on history, planning, methodology, design, and construction, it explores five projects in regenerative landscape design. Supported by extensive illustrations and a question-and-answers discussion with project designers and managers, two comprehensive case studies of wetland parks in Las Vegas and London illustrate the interdependence between innovative site technologies and novel planning and design strategies and processes.

This unique book takes an in-depth look at the process of restoring damaged or abandoned landscapes to benefit both nature and people. With a focus on history, planning, methodology, design, and construction, it explores five projects in regenerative landscape design. Supported by extensive illustrations and a question-and-answers discussion with project designers and managers, two comprehensive case studies of wetland parks in Las Vegas and London illustrate the interdependence between innovative site technologies and novel planning and design strategies and processes. Emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary cooperation, the book presents lessons learned from some of the most successful projects in regenerative landscape design.

Integrative Studies in Water Management and Land Development
Robert L. France is associate professor of watershed management at Nova Scotia Agricultural College (NSAC). Dr. France has conducted research in regions from the High Arctic to the tropics, on subject areas from bacteria and algae to whales, as well as on chemistry and environmental theory. He has taught at the universities of McGill, Ca'Foscari Venice, and Harvard. France is a Series Editor for CRC Press, where he runs the Integrative Studies in Water Management and Land Development series, and is also on the editorial board of the independent environmental press Green Frigate Books. He has published over two hundred articles and is the author or editor of over a dozen books of both a technical nature as well as general public interest. France conducts research on the environmental restoration of postagricultural and postindustrial landscapes, integrated watershed management and water-sensitive planning and design, the use of stable isotope analysis to trace material flow in aquatic foodwebs, the impacts of clear-cutting on land-lake linkages, landscape modifications at the suburban-agricultural interface, agricultural urbanism, environmental biography, and immersion into historic agricultural and utilitarian landscapes. For more information about the author, see Dr. France's web page at NSAC.
