商品描述

This book provides a detailed description of fluvial processes and their influence on urban sites. During the urban expansion of modern cities throughout the twentieth century, rivers have become a source of problems during high flood events. However, due to growing social pressure, especially in dense cities, rivers are viewed as new leisure areas given that they also provide highly valuable ecosystem services. People seek open and environmentally friendly spaces amidst the dense street networks of cities. Yet, we should not forget that rivers are not merely domesticated elements of nature for leisure purposes only. Flooding risks and damages are possible within urban environments. How should we address the social and ecological interactions? How should we plan for these complexities to meet the growing social requirements and needs while respecting river dynamics? Hydrologists, geomorphologists, engineers, geographers and urban planners could leverage the knowledge and examples provided to enhance the interaction between nature and society in the growing cities of the twenty-first century.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書詳細描述了河流過程及其對城市地點的影響。在二十世紀現代城市的擴張過程中，河流在洪水高峰事件中成為了一個問題的來源。然而，由於社會壓力的增長，特別是在密集的城市中，河流被視為新的休閒區域，因為它們還提供了極具價值的生態系統服務。人們在城市密集的街道網絡中尋求開放且環保的空間。然而，我們不應忘記，河流不僅僅是為休閒目的而馴化的自然元素。在城市環境中，洪水風險和損害是可能發生的。我們應該如何處理社會與生態之間的互動？我們應該如何規劃這些複雜性，以滿足日益增長的社會需求，同時尊重河流的動態？水文學家、地貌學家、工程師、地理學家和城市規劃者可以利用本書提供的知識和範例，增強二十一世紀日益增長的城市中自然與社會之間的互動。

Dr. Joaquim Farguell Pérez: Ph.D. in Geography, in Fluvial Geomorphology (University of Barcelona, 2005). Full-time Lecturer in Hydrology, Geomorphology and Water Resources Management in the University of Barcelona, and member of the Mediterranean Environmental Research Group (GRAM). His main interests are based on fluvial geomorphology effects on urban river systems, especially those related with erosion and sediment transport, and how process-based river restorations evolve within urban areas. He has been the PI of research projects for monitoring the evolution of urban river channels and its hydro-geomorphological dynamics. He is currently the academic coordinator of the master's degree in Water Science and Integral Water Management (University of Barcelona), involving 8 faculties and up to 60 academics, and member of the Water Research Institute of Barcelona (IdRA).
