They are conceived as amphibious landscapes that dynamically adjust to both dry and wet conditions and embrace dramatic variations: a sudden abundant presence of water perhaps followed by its prolonged absence in a drought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganized in the four categories urban parks, neighborhood parks, squares and streets, the book thoroughly investigates 26 European case studies. It demonstrates that stormwater must not be seen as a menace but as an invigorating part of urban life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamples by renowned landscape designers such as Agence Ter, Bureau Bas Smets, Michel Desvigne Paysagiste or Henning Larsen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystematic presentation of design strategies and comparative analysis of stormwater-embracing designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll case studies are presented with photos, project description and drawings specifically prepared for this publication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmma Salizzoni\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor for Landscape Architecture at Politecnico di Torino\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManuela Ronci\u003c\/b\u003e is a researcher at Politecnico di Torino\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 11.2 x 8.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 12, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46758089326789,"sku":"9783035628999","price":78.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/2Fj9c1_tBT9783035628999_8869a060-07e6-4177-a1a0-bbe403589df2.webp?v=1787145134","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/stormwater-designing-for-flood-management-in-public-open-spaces-hardcover-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
