Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a different narrative and approach to rethinking stormwater management through sustainable urban design. It delves into design interventions and innovative strategies that lead to solving context-specific issues of flooding, water scarcity, etc. Starting with an overarching introduction and discussion on stormwater management research, the book then primarily focuses on sustainable urban design practices, strategies, and policy guidelines.

By summarising a selection of successful global case study examples, the book highlights how we should rethink stormwater management practices and policies from the design perspective. Through sustainable urban design suggestions, the book covers a wide range of conceptual examples to design and policy guidelines, as well as best practices that could be utilised for other contexts.

The book is divided into two sections of:

(1) architectural and urban design practices and interventions; and

(2) policies and action plans.

This collection helps researchers and scholars rethink stormwater management and consider innovative - and, more importantly, sustainable - design strategies that could help develop new paradigms and policies for water-related issues in cities and communities. This will interest multiple stakeholders, mainly urban policymakers, planners, urban designers, urban specialists, landscape architects, architects, and urban ecologists. It could be treated as a case study-based guide for governmental units dealing with waterrelated issues in cities and urban areas.

Autorenporträt

Ali CHESHMEHZANGI is a Full Professor and Head of the School of Architecture, Design and Planning (ADP) at the University of Queensland, where he leads the School and researches across the fields of architecture, design, and planning/urbanism. He has been the World's top 2% field leader since 2022, recognised by Stanford University. He is among the top 30 global scholars in the urban sustainability research area. Ali is internationally known for his scholarly contribution and extended work on climate resilience and sustainable urbanism research. Prior to joining UQ, Ali held several strategic leadership and senior managerial roles, such as Vice-President for International Engagement and Global Partnership, Founding Director/Head of the Center for Innovation in Education and Research, Head of the Department of Architecture and Built Environment, Founding Director of the Urban Innovation Lab, Director of a university-wide Teaching and Learning platform, Director of International Research Network for Rural and Urban Development, Head of Research Group for Sustainable Built Environment, co-director of university-wide research priority areas, Director of Center for Sustainable Energy Technologies, and Interim Director of Digital Design Lab. So far, Ali has published over 500 journal papers, articles, conference papers, book chapters, and reports. He also has 26 other academic books, three of which have received awards at the national, provincial, and municipal levels. He also has received international awards and recognition for his research on urban resilience studies and sustainability research, as well as a Vice-Chancellor's award for his impactful contribution to higher education. Maycon Sedrez is an architect and urban designer, artist, and educator with a background in computational design and digital fabrication. His research areas include complexity and architecture, parametric design, digital fabrication, technologies, and urbanism. He obtained his Ph.D. Diploma with excellence in Architecture, Technology, and City from the University of Campinas in 2016. He contributed to the Institute for Sustainable Urbanism (TU Braunschweig-Germany) as a postdoc researcher in the field of urban analytics. Later in 2019, he became a part of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China's team, leading the Digital Design Lab, and acting as a course director and the deputy head of the department. He is currently a lecturer in Architecture at Deakin University in Australia (2023). Andrew Flynn is a professor in Environmental Policy and Planning. He has a background in policy analysis and environmental geography. His principal research interests have been in the making and delivery of policy on sustainable development, the implementation of policy and its evaluation. In exploring the dynamics of policy and regulation, he paid particular attention to the food system. His work on food supply chains and technological innovations in the food system has provided insights into the relationships between the state and key economic interests and how these have led to new patterns of regulation. This in turn has helped to inform work on environmental regulation, particularly in relation to the role of supply chains.
