The book begins from the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003erecognition that cities located along rivers, deltas, lagoons, and coasts are increasingly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eshaped by overlapping pressures—geological, hydrological, environmental, and human—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethat accumulate into complex and interconnected risks. These are not single hazards to\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebe solved in isolation, but multi-risk conditions that challenge conventional planning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emodels and stretch the limits of existing urban theories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book lies the question of how multi-risk can be understood, mapped,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eand responded to. This concern resonates strongly with the aims of the MIRACLE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eproject, which likewise seeks to explore and develop new frameworks for engaging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewith urban risk in dynamic and uncertain environments. Rather than treating risk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eas an external force to be managed or controlled, \u003cem\u003eBetween Land and Water\u003c\/em\u003e considers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003erisk as a constitutive element of the urban condition, one that must be integrated into\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edesign, governance, and everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ground this exploration, the book focuses on the land–water threshold, a space where\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emulti-risk conditions are most visible and acute. This threshold is not a rigid boundary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebetween solid ground and open water, but a porous and shifting interface where flows\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eof people, ecologies, infrastructures, and cultures converge. It is precisely here, in these\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ein-between zones, that risks accumulate and, simultaneously, new opportunities for\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eadaptation and transformation emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if risk were not just a threat to be contained, but a force that could reshape how\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewe imagine and build our cities? \u003cem\u003eBetween Land and Water\u003c\/em\u003e takes readers to the shifting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eedges of rivers, deltas, lagoons, and coasts—places where multiple risks converge and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efutures are contested. Here, vulnerability and opportunity collide: floods and storms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eunsettle familiar boundaries, yet also open possibilities for new forms of living, designing,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eand governing. Challenging conventional planning models, this book treats risk as\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epart of the urban condition itself—cultural as much as ecological, political as much as\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eenvironmental. Through critical mapping, stories of water, and speculative design, it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003euncovers how unstable thresholds can inspire more just, adaptive, and resilient futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBold and imaginative, \u003cem\u003eBetween Land and Water\u003c\/em\u003e offers fresh insights for anyone seeking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eto move beyond technical fixes and embrace uncertainty as a resource for transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 March 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032447227\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63040478806156,"sku":"9783032447227","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032447227.tif?v=1792192046","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032447227","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
