As coastal cities begin planning for climate change and rising sea levels, author Timothy Beatley sees opportunities for rethinking the relationship between urban development and the ocean. Modern society is more dependent upon ocean resources than people are commonly aware offrom oil and gas extraction to wind energy, to the vast amounts of fish harvested globally, to medicinal compounds derived from sea creatures, and more. In Blue Urbanism, Beatley argues that, given all weve gained from the sea, city policies, plans, and daily urban life should acknowledge and support a healthy ocean environment. The book explores issues ranging from urban design and land use, to resource extraction and renewable energy, to educating urbanites about the wonders of marine life. Beatley looks at how emerging practices like community supported fisheries and aquaponics can provide a sustainable alternative to industrial fishing practices. Other chapters delve into incentives for increasing use of wind and tidal energy as renewable options to oil and gas extraction that damages ocean life, and how the shipping industry is becoming more green. Additionally, urban citizens, he explains, have many opportunities to interact meaningfully with the ocean, from beach cleanups to helping scientists gather data. While no one city has it all figured out, Beatley finds evidence of a changing ethic in cities around the world: a marine biodiversity census in Singapore, decreasing support for shark-finning in Hong Kong, water plazas in Rotterdam, a new protected area along the rocky shore of Wellington, New Zealand, bluebelt planning in Staten Island, and more. Ultimately he explains we must create a culture of ocean literacy using a variety of approaches, from building design and art installations that draw inspiration from marine forms, to encouraging citizen volunteerism related to oceans, to city-sponsored research, and support for new laws that protect marine health. Equal parts inspiration and practical advice for urban planners, ocean activists, and policymakers, Blue Urbanism offers a comprehensive look at the challenges and great potential for urban areas to integrate ocean health into their policy and planning goals. 000710651 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000710651 650_0 $$aCity planning. 000710651 650_0 $$aEnvironmental protection$$xPlanning. 000710651 650_0 $$aCoastal zone management. 000710651 650_0 $$aSea level. 000710651 650_0 $$aUrban ecology (Sociology) 000710651 650_0 $$aMarine ecology. 000710651 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBeatley, Timothy, 1957-$$tBlue urbanism$$z9781610914048$$w(DLC) 2013043041$$w(OCoLC)864391582 000710651 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000710651 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-61091-564-9$$zOnline Access 000710651 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:710651$$pGLOBAL_SET 000710651 980__ $$aEBOOK 000710651 980__ $$aBIB 000710651 982__ $$aEbook 000710651 983__ $$aOnline 000710651 994__ $$a92$$bISE
