Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the
future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it
offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and
interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life.
These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the
landscaping of large-scale protection works.

This
volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and
South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their
inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides
or long periods of heat and drought.

Outstanding projects in
the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic
context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of
resilience.
