Urban Shores 1st edition

Urban Shores – Towards Landscape-Based Coastal Adaptation is written by Anna Aslaug Lund, Ole Fryd, and Gertrud Jørgensen. Based on the five-year research project Cities and Sea Level Rise (2019–2024), the book focuses on how coastal cities can adapt to rising sea levels through landscape-based solutions.
Urban Shores presents concrete methods and international cases, contributing to the broader conversation about how we understand and shape coastal cities for the future. It describes Denmark's landscape-based solution in Køge Bay, how the Netherlands and the United States are working to move buildings away from flood-prone areas, and how Venice is restoring lost wetlands in the lagoon surrounding the city to provide protection against flooding. 
The book serves as a tool for planners, architects, biologists, engineers, and decision-makers. It connects research and practice and contributes to a new understanding of how coastal cities can be transformed with respect for both nature and culture – with an eye to the necessary adaptations of the future.
