Taylor & Francis Ltd Restorative Redevelopment of Devastated
Book SynopsisA fusion of ecological restoration and sustainable development, restorative redevelopment represents an emerging paradigm for remediating landscapes. Rather than merely fixing the broken bits and pieces of nature, restorative development advocates the reuse of devastated landscapes to improve the value and livability of a location for humans at the same time as effectively reinstating natural processes and functions. Restorative Redevelopment of Devastated Ecocultural Landscapes explores the use of this approach to address the long-term, sustainable reparation of the fabled marshlands of southern Iraq destroyed by Saddam Hussein, as well as numerous examples of other ecologically sensitive regions.Case studies presented include: Southern marshlands Iraq Hula swamp, Israel Azraq Oasis, Jordan Las Vegas Wash, USA Xochimilco, Mexico Pantanal, Brazil Clark County Wetlands Park, USA Tonle Sap, Table of ContentsBackground. Environmental Restoration Theory and Practice. Environmental Planning Theory and Practice. Desert Wetland Restorations. Wetlands and Nature Reserves. Ecosystems. People. Ecology and Economics.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Why Cities Need Large Parks
Book SynopsisThe large parks and green infrastructure presented here illustrate the diverse uses and many benefits of large urban parks across 30 major cities. Demand for large urban parks emerged at the height of the First Industrial Revolution in the mid-1800s, when large urban parks represented new ideas of accessible public spaces, often established on land previously owned by aristocracy, royalty or the army. They represented new ideas on how city life could be improved and how large green spaces could enhance urban citizensâ physical and psychological well-being (e.g. Birkenhead Park in Liverpool, Bois de Boulogne in Paris, Tiergarten in Berlin and Central Park in New York City). Today, large urban parks are habitats for biodiversity and spaces of climate change adaptation. For people living in cities, this biodiversity may represent high cultural, recreational and aesthetic values, but is also important for other aspects of health and well-being, for example by reducing the urban heat islTrade Review"The book is absolutely unique and should be the standard reference on this important subject for years ahead."—Richard T. T. Forman, PAES Professor of Landscape Ecology Emeritus, Harvard University"Read it, I am sure it will inspire you to care for and share the green treasures of your cities!"—Håkan Wirtén, Secretary General, WWF Sweden"This book details the much needed evidence, the pathways and the vision for future livable more resilient cities where Large Urban Parks are at the core."—Thomas Elmqvist, Professor in Natural Resource Management at Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm UniversityTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Landscape Performance Modeling Using Rhino and
Book SynopsisThis is a guidebook for landscape architects to learn the fundamental practices and use of the computational software Rhino 3D and the plugin Grasshopper for parametric modeling, landscape inventory, and performative analysis. This process visually connects intangible and abstract information with physical and spatial relationships to signify the impact ecological, climate, and cultural factors have on landscape performance and decision making. Each chapter begins with a summary of the performance method and its application in different projects, outlining the expected goals from industry standard equations and operations. Chapters cover parametric modeling scripts to measure ecosystem services of stormwater management, erosion control, tree benefits, outdoor comfort, accessibility, and many others. Using photographs, tables, and parametric scripts to create qualitative and quantitative representations of landscape performance and ecosystem services, readers will learn to communicate the impact and significance of their outputs. This book will be beneficial to educators, students, and professionals interested in using computational modeling as a performance assessment and graphic visualization tool.Table of ContentsSection 1 1.
