Serving Multiple Ends: Water and Urban Design
Abstract
Professor Nancy Rottle will discuss the need for taking a comprehensive, integrated approach to water in the urban environment, incorporating considerations for water resource infrastructure, aquatic habitat and city amenities. She will show examples of artful hydrological integration from the Pacific Northwest, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and tell about a stormwater research project being conducted by the UW Green Futures Lab. Professor Rottle will conclude the talk with design, planning and water management principles for urban sustainability.
