| Summary: | Based on a five-year research project (2019-2024), "Urban Shores' focuses on how coastal cities can adapt to rising sea levels through landscape-based solutions. It presents concrete methods and international cases, contributing to the broader conversation about how we understand and shape coastal cities for the future. Highlighted are Denmark's landscape-based solution in Køge Bay, how the Netherlands and the United States are working to move buildings away from flood-prone areas, and how Venice is restoring lost wetlands in the lagoon surrounding the city. The book serves as a tool for planners, architects, biologists, engineers, decision-makers, and others. |
