Green Streetscape Design with Stormwater Management

Temporarily out of stock

The first book about stormwater management utilised in urban streetscape design in China. As people witness the effects of climate change - storms of greater frequency and severity - stormwater management in green streetscape design provides an added safeguard that can help mitigate flash flooding during these events. Green street design helps manage stormwater runoff to minimise the amount of pollutants that reach the waterways during rain storms. It also increases the safety and walkability of streets and beautify the city.

This book provides a toolkit and reference of design projects for city agencies, contractors, and landscape designers to help them achieve their goals. Offering a detailed green streetscape design guideline with accompanying stormwater management methods, the book is augmented with selected design cases, presented with rich narratives, detailed plans and drawings, and beautiful photography. This book is an informative guide for practitioners to create an attractive, efficient and sustainable urban streetscape, while managing polluted stormwater and achieving a cleaner environment.
