Designing the Sustainable Site
Advocating a regenerative design approach in which built landscapes sustain and restore vital ecosystem functions, Designing the Sustainable Site guides readers through a design process for new and redeveloped sites that not only minimizes damage to the environment but also actively helps to repair it. 

Designing the Sustainable Site:

• Assists designers in identifying and incorporating sustainable design practices that have the greatest positive impact on both the project and the surrounding community

• Uses photographs, sketches, and case studies to provide a comprehensive look at successful green landscape design

• Outlines the integrated design process and illustrates how sustainable design practices are relevant and applicable to projects  of any size or budget
• Demonstrates how built environments can protect and restore ecosystem services
  
• Explains the multiple and far-reaching benefits that sustainable design solutions can provide
  
• Assists project teams in fulfilling credit requirements of green building assessment tools such as LEED, BREEAM, or SITES

With attention to six global environmental challenges  - air pollution, urban flooding and water pollution, water shortages, invasive species, and loss of biodiversity - along with guidance on how to meet these challenges,  Designing the Sustainable Site gives site designers and landscape architects the tools and information they need to become a driving force in the quest for sustainability. 

The full-color, practical guide to designing sustainable residential landscapes and small scale sites.
