Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Urban drainage is often overlooked-until it fails. Integrated Urban Drainage reveals how water, infrastructure, and urban growth are deeply interconnected, shaping the resilience and liveability of modern cities.From the transformation of natural landscapes into dense urban environments to the cascading impacts of roads, impervious surfaces, and infrastructure congestion, this book explains how drainage problems evolve-and why they so often culminate in flooding and system failure. Drawing on real-world examples from Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Jodhpur, Kanpur and Kolkata, it demonstrates how common planning gaps lead to recurring urban water crises.Blending engineering principles with urban planning, environmental insight, and governance challenges, the book emphasises that effective drainage is not just about building drains-it is about understanding systems. It highlights the critical role of natural drainage assets, integrated infrastructure planning, and climate-resilient design in creating sustainable cities.Designed for students, practitioners, and policymakers alike, this book offers a clear, structured, and practical guide to understanding urban drainage as a foundational service-essential for building cities that can withstand the pressures of rapid urbanisation and a changing climate.
