Chapter 10: Water

Chapter 10 explores how water can be understood as a common good and how design can help communities better live with natural water systems. The chapter looks at how climate change, flooding, pollution, and water overuse are creating challenges for both people and the environment. It argues that instead of trying to control or remove water, cities should work with natural processes like flooding, stormwater, and wetlands. The featured projects explore new ways of adapting to rising sea levels, restoring coastal landscapes, balancing industrial and environmental needs along waterfronts, and using green infrastructure to reduce flooding in neighborhoods. Together, these projects show how architecture and urban design can create stronger connections between communities, water, and the natural environment while making cities more resilient for the future.
