Abstract

One of the updated and recently published books, in this case, is River. Space. Design. Planning Strategies, Method s and Projects for Urban Rivers. This book is the result of a project under the supervision of Martin Prominski and Antje Stokman, in collaboration with a project team including Susanne Zeller, Daniel Stimberg, Hinnerk Voermanek, Katarina Bajc, and Nengshi Zheng. What has been lacking is an overview that presents a wide diversity of design possibilities for urban river spaces in a systematic and transferable way. This book aims to fill this gap and serve as a primer and reference for designers of urban river spaces. In this book, the extracted abstract design guidelines would facilitate multifunctional solutions for the many new urban river spaces which will have to be designed in the near future in Europe and beyond.
