Ohio Library and Information Network text Electronic books si 2020 monographic eng 1 online resource (377 pages) This book discusses the protection, planning, and design of sustainable urban water environments. Against the backdrop of environmental changes, it addresses issues of water resource protection and sustainable development in China and Germany at different stages of urbanization, as well as relevant strategies and lessons learned. It focuses on three topics: balance between water environment protection and utilization in the urbanization process; sustainable use of water resources in the urbanization process; and water-related planning and design strategies in urbanization and local cultural development processes. In the context of water resources, China and Germany can learn from each others experiences and can support one another in the fields of urbanization and locality. As such, the book brings together Chinese and Germans scientists from various disciplines, such as planning, geography, landscape, architecture, tourism, ecology, hydraulic engineering and history to provide a multicultural and multidisciplinary perspective on the topic and examine the challenges and opportunities as well as the planning and design strategies to achieve sustainable, water-related urban spaces. By combining theoretical and practical approaches, it appeals to academics and practitioners around the globe New Opportunities: Challenges between Water Environment Protection and Utilization in the Process of Urbanization -- New Strategies: Sustainable Use of Water Resources in the Process of Urbanization -- New Explorations: Water-related Planning and Design Strategies in the Process of Urbanization and Local Cultural Development Fang Wang, Martin Prominski, editors Available to OhioLINK libraries Municipal water supply TD345 W87 2020 Wang, Fang Singapore : Springer,c2020 9789811535079 9811535078 Available to OhioLINK libraries EBLCP 211104 20211104135537.0 1153819505 eng
