Description:

This unique book takes an in-depth look at the process of restoring damaged or abandoned landscapes to benefit both nature and people. With a focus on history, planning, methodology, design, and construction, it explores five projects in regenerative landscape design. Supported by extensive illustrations and a question-and-answers discussion with project designers and managers, two comprehensive case studies of wetland parks in Las Vegas and London illustrate the interdependence between innovative site technologies and novel planning and design strategies and processes. Emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary cooperation, the book presents lessons learned from some of the most successful projects in regenerative landscape design.
