Description for Swarming Landscapes
Hardback. This book focuses on climate adaptation and on ways we can adapt to climate change in spatial planning. The authors introduce, explain and demonstrate the concept of Swarm Planning, a new approach that is anticipative and capable of dealing with sudden change. Editor(s): Roggema, Rob. Series: Advances in Global Change Research. Num Pages: 266 pages, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: AMV; RGC; RNPG; RP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 243 x 159 x 17. Weight in Grams: 544.
This book advocates a fresh approach to planning that anticipates, rather than reacts to, the changes in climate currently in process. Today’s spatial planning procedures rely on historical evidence instead of preparing for factors that by definition lie in the future, yet which are relatively uncontroversial: shortages of water, sea level rise and rises in average temperatures being but three examples. Arguing for more flexibility, the contributors view ‘complexity’ as the key to transforming the way we plan in order to better equip us to face uncertainties about our future environment.
