Le città e i villaggi di oggi, sottoposti a ritmi di crescita e sviluppo sempre più intensi, sono maggiormente esposti al rischio di allagamenti.
Pianificazioni urbane eco-friendly e architettura del paesaggio stanno cercando soluzioni per i nuovi contesti urbani. Focalizzandosi sul concetto della gestione delle acque piovane, questo volume introduce le chiavi tecniche e le conoscenze sulla raccolta delle acque nella progettazione urbana, illustrandole con esempi recenti di progetti da tutto il mondo.
