Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. As coastal communities around the world face the mounting threat of sea level rise, "Floating Cities for Rising Sea Levels: A Simple Guide to Big Ideas" delivers a timely and accessible exploration of some of the most innovative solutions on the horizon. The book begins by unpacking the science behind rising seas, the limitations of traditional defenses like sea walls and relocation, and the growing necessity for bold, creative approaches in urban adaptation. Recognizing the ocean as both a challenge and an opportunity, this guide sets the stage for the ambitious concept of floating cities-urban environments designed to thrive atop the water rather than fight against it. Structured as a comprehensive yet approachable primer, the book demystifies floating city technology through engaging chapters on engineering basics, sustainable design, and real-world prototypes. It navigates the practicalities of life afloat, from resilient infrastructure and renewable energy systems to community identity, health, and inclusion. By addressing common concerns and highlighting the advantages of water-based urbanism over land-based alternatives, the guide underscores how floating cities can offer adaptable, eco-friendly, and equitable solutions for the future. Not merely a technical manual, this book takes readers on a journey through policy, governance, and imaginative visions for tomorrow's cities. It presents global case studies, explores models for self-governance, and advocates for broad participation and cooperation in confronting climate challenges. With its clear explanations, global outlook, and actionable advice, "Floating Cities for Rising Sea Levels" empowers readers of all backgrounds to understand, engage with, and contribute to the future of sustainable, water-based living.
