Adaptive water urbanism is a water-centric, systems-based approach to resilient place-making. This design approach intends to ... help adapt cities and regions to more intensive storms, more sustained drought, more severe land subsidence, and a rising sea level. Adaptive water urbanism also addresses environmental adaptation by making cities and regions more livable socially, economically, environmentally, ecologically, and aesthetically as co-benefits of climate adaptation. Specifically, a divide-and-conquer approach is often undertaken to untangle the compounding effects of inland, riverine, and coastal flooding so that the impact of each flooding source can be attenuated as locally as possible. read more
