About the Book

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.


About the Author: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joerg Baumeister has been a practitioner, an educator, a researcher, and a consultant for Architecture and Urban Design for more than 20 years throughout Europe, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Asia, and Australia. As a university educator with passion for "his" students, he tries to fuse research, higher education, and implementation in order to create feedback loops to evolve the fields of urban design and architecture. Joerg founded in 2019 the "SeaCities" research laboratory (SeaCities.org) at the Cities Research Institute, Griffith University, to develop water-adapted cities and floating structures. He is consulting governmental institutions on the federal, state, and regional level as well as NGOs and private industry leaders to apply his current research interests which comprise SeaCities, ecological cities, affordable housing in serial building technology, and design innovation through creative thinking. He is an award-winning architect and urban designer and continues to be an enthusiastic speaker at international conferences. Joerg is the DAAD ambassador and the scientist for future.
