The challenges to be faced in this century are now well documented by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The effects of drought, melting polar ice and increased incidences of extreme weather events will impact on the diverse landscapes of the earth and a human population predicted to be 9 billion by the middle of the 21st century, a three-fold increase in less than one hundred years. This book provides a valuable insight into landscaping activity worldwide by those tasked with housing, feeding and nurturing all species that share the planet. Research for this publication reveals the growth of non-anthropised  design philosophies, acknowledging that humanity cannot be indefinitely sustained if animal, bird and plant life are excluded. The precious resources of water and the air that we breathe are no longer taken for granted; rivers flowing through the world?s mega-cities are now being cleaned, restored and given pride of place in the landscapes they flow through. Conservation projects provide evidence that even fragile island and desert landscapes can be protected from the negative impacts of population. Eco-Landscape Design demonstrates that an intelligent and thoughtful approach to landscape design can not only ensure survival, it can reap compound benefits and rewards far in excess of those originally envisaged. 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aLandscape architecture 606 $aCity planning 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aLandscape Architecture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K16003 606 $aUrbanism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K18006 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aLandscape architecture. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aLandscape Architecture. 615 24$aUrbanism. 676 $a712.2 700 $aFlannery$b John A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063910 702 $aSmith$b Karen M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299456703321 996 $aEco-Landscape Design$92535247 997 $aUNINA
