Flussufer in der Stadt sind attraktive Orte von hohem Aufenthaltswert. Das Gestalten solcher urbanen Flusslandschaften ist vielfältigen Anforderungen unterworfen: es gilt, Hochwasserschutz, Freiraumgestaltung und Ökologie in Einklang zu bringen, häufig auf sehr beengtem Raum.
Das Buch ist Ergebnis einer mehrjährigen Studie, in der zahlreiche vorbildliche Projekte einer vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen wurden. Daraus entstand ein systematischer Katalog sinnvoller Strategien und innovativer Gestaltungselemente. Der Gestalter und Planer erhält so erstmals einen Überblick über das Spektrum der zahlreichen entwurflichen Möglichkeiten.
Für die überarbeitete Neuausgabe wurden zehn aktuelle Projekte, vor allem aus Nordamerika, ausgewählt und dokumentiert.

Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer. This book is the product of extensive research that identified some 60 best-practice examples and subjected them to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalog of effective strategies and innovative design tools that provides readers with an inspiring overview of the broad spectrum of design possibilities for river spaces. Each project is illustrated with photographs taken especially for the book and each design strategy and tool is explained by diagrams.This revised edition introduces ten new case studies chiefly from North America.

"With its clear language and impeccable organization and design, River.Space.Design. serves not only as a great resource for design ideas and examples, but also as a challenge to how we consider rivers in an urban context [...] In the book´s introduction, the author writes, ´What has been lacking up to date is an overview that presents the wide diversity of design possibilities for urban river spaces in a systematic and transferable way. This book aims to fill this gap and serve as a primer and reference for designers of urban spaces.´ River.Space.Design. is absolutely successful in this regard and will hopefully inspire designers to find ways new ways to engage their community´s rivers."In: http://dirt.asla.org/2013/01/16/rethinking-our-relationship-with-rivers/
