Deltaic areas are among the most promising regions in the world. Their strategic location and superior quality of their soils are core factors supporting both human development and the rise of these regions as global economic hubs. At the same time, however, deltas are extremely vulnerable to multiple threats from both climate change and urbanisation. These include an increased flood risk combined with the resulting loss of ecological and social-cultural values. To ensure a more sustainable future for these areas, spatial strategies are needed to strengthen resilience, i.e. help the systems to cope with their vulnerabilities as well as enhance their capacity to overcome natural and artificial threats. The book provides a unique approach that integrates research in urban landscape systems, territorial governance and visualisation techniques that will help to achieve more integrated and resilient deltas. Based on an assessment of the dynamics of change regarding the transformational cycles of natural and urban landscape elements, eco-dynamic regional design strategies are explored to reveal greater opportunities for the exploitation of natural and social-cultural factors within the processes of urban development. 410 0$aThe Urban Book Series,$x2365-7588 606 $aLandscape architecture 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aLandscape Architecture 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aNatural Hazards 615 0$aLandscape architecture. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 14$aLandscape Architecture. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 676 $a710 686 $aARC008000$aNAT023000$aPOL028000$2bisacsh 700 $aNijhuis$b Steffen$0906801 701 $aNijhuis$b Steffen$0906801 701 $aSun$b Yimin$01371849 701 $aLange$b Eckart$01371850 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734345103321 996 $aAdaptive Urban Transformation$93401529 997 $aUNINA
