Overview

The positive effects of urban green spaces are well-known, ranging from the promotion of health, support of biodiversity to climate regulation. However, the practical implementation of urban landscapes is less discussed. How can we make these spaces functional, economically feasible and inclusive, especially as cities become more diverse? The publication explores strategies to reconcile the various demands, such as food production, resilience and nature conservation. Indeed, urban landscapes have to be restorative, ecological and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This is a particular challenge in high-density cities like Singapore, Seoul or New York where space is a scarce commodity. The continuing growth of the worldwide urban population imbues the topic with a special urgency.

Das Buch prasentiert einen Dialog von Wissenschaftlern uber urbane Landschaften aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und Perspektiven. Dabei werden bekannte Beispiele wie Singapur, New York oder Rom geschildert, die als Vorbilder fur andere Stadte dienen koennen und den multifunktionalen Charakter der urbanen Landschaften anschaulich widerspiegeln. Die deutsche Diskussion um Smart City, Green City oder nachhaltige Stadt kann davon sicher profitieren.
