<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A case study on Egypt's new paradigms of landscape design in an era of climate change and rapid urban growth</strong></p><p>Characterized by its dependence on the Nile and its constant agricultural transformations, Egypt is both one of the globe's oldest agrarian civilizations and one of the fastest-growing countries in the world today. As the country experiences rapid changes strongly influenced by increasing water and food scarcity, accelerated urbanization and the negative impacts of climate change, its current modernist, lifestyle-oriented landscape designs are in need of renovation and innovation. <p/><i>Landscaping Egypt</i> focuses on the new and innovative landscape design models from local and international researchers and design professionals, with the goal of making these models and ideas more popular, aesthetically valuable and widely applicable. While the examples included focus on the primarily arid ecosystems of Egypt, this volume also offers multidisciplinary approaches and site-independent concepts and theories that could be applied to other environments and situations all around the world. </p>
