Using participatory planning of green infrastructure and application of nature-based solutions to address urban challenges, landscape urbanism seeks to reintroduce critical connections between natural and urban systems. In light of ongoing developments in landscape architecture, the goal is a paradigm shift towards a landscape that restores and rehabilitates urban ecosystems. Nine contributions examine a wide range of successful cases of designing livable and resilient cities in different geographical contexts, from the United States of America to Australia and Japan, and through several European cities in Italy, Portugal, Estonia, and Greece. While some chapters attempt to conceptualize the interconnections between cities and nature, others clearly have an empirical focus. Efforts such as the use of ornamental helophyte plants in bioretention ponds to reduce and treat stormwater runoff, the recovery of a poorly constructed urban waterway or participatory approaches for optimizing the location of green stormwater infrastructure and examining the environmental justice issue of equative availability and accessibility to public open spaces make these innovations explicit. Thus, this volume contributes to the sustainable cities goal of the United Nations. public perceptionurban sustainabilitypublic open spacelandscape urbanismurban ecologyre-naturing citiesfloating treatment wetlandviable citydeprived areasurban planningrenaturing citiesGreecepostal questionnairepedestrian zonesstreet vergeslandscape firstpublic green infrastructure (PGI)resource rationalizationcontext-sensitive designgreen infrastructureenvironmental justiceriver restorationpublic amenitywell-beingsustainable citiesJapanrecreationplant ecologysocial equityrunoffsustainable developmentSoviet-era housing blocksregenerative designbiophilic urbanismlivabilitypost-postmodernismlandscape historynature-based solutionsvacant landnature-based solutionbuilt environmentgreen stormwater infrastructure (GSI)urban nature (UN)urban designgeographic information systemslandscape theoryurban geographyresidents’ viewspollutant removalliveabilityvisitor satisfaction surveybiophilic designImportance-Performance Analysis (IPA)urban naturespontaneous vegetationAsiagreen gentrificationsite suitability modelinglandscape architectureRoma minorityPhiladelphiaPanagopoulos Thomas1296344ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367567703321Landscape Urbanism and Green Infrastructure3024023UNINA
