Cities and urban areas must respond to rising sea levels, and the accompanying increase in salinity of coastal and near-coastal land. This book highlights the ways in which urban designers are exploring new strategies to adapt to and mitigate these effects â strategies including elevating buildings and infrastructure, implementing green infrastructure to absorb excess water, and developing coastal ecosystems to act as buffers against storm surges and flooding.
Salty Urbanism can have a significant impact on urban infrastructure, such as roads, buildings, and water supply systems. As saltwater infiltrates freshwater sources, it can damage pipes and other infrastructure, leading to costly repairs and maintenance. The book highlights the urgent need for cities and urban areas to adapt and prepare for the ongoing and future impacts of climate change.
