Rather than treating the shoreline as a fixed boundary to defend, the book approaches the coast as a living, dynamic system-one that must be understood, designed, and managed through change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructured across foundations, tools and methods, coastal typologies, implementation pathways, and future-facing design ethics, the book moves from first principles to real-world application. It explores how to read coastal landscapes, work with water across scales, design living shorelines and blue-green infrastructure, shape waterfront public spaces, retrofit vulnerable neighborhoods, collaborate across disciplines, and deliver projects through policy, finance, construction, monitoring, and long-term stewardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich in practical insight, the book also examines the deeper cultural and political questions of the urban coast: public access, heritage, climate justice, displacement, community participation, and the right to the waterfront. Throughout, it argues that landscape architecture has a central role to play-not only in making coastal cities safer, but in making them more generous, adaptive, and alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for \u003cb\u003estudents, practitioners, public agencies, urban leaders, and interdisciplinary teams\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eLandscape Architecture for Coastal Cities\u003c\/b\u003e offers both a conceptual lens and a working toolkit for anyone engaged in the future of the coastal urban edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not simply a book about resilience. It is a book about \u003cb\u003edesigning with water, designing with uncertainty, and designing for a moving shoreline\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prof Daan Jansen,Nia Adusei\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798250441117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Prof Daan Jansen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437695611135,"sku":"9798250441117","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3dd3429f-cf2d-4f43-945a-51b57e4970f4.jpg?v=1777163464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscape-architecture-for-coastal-cities-prof-daan-jansen-9798250441117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
