This book highlights various solutions for the required transition of
coastal cities due to +1m sea level rise. The current understanding is
that infrastructure, buildings, industry, and communities have to be
protected by engineering-based solutions, or cities have to retreat. The
book adds two more solutions where cities can advance onto the water or
can accommodate. All four different concepts are introduced and
presented in a manual and as urban design proposals for one specific
site. Therefore, the book can be used in two ways: Either as a general
guide for urban transition processes due to +1m sea level rise, or as
demonstration project how differently sites can be developed further and
created thereby additional opportunities.
