Urban Blue Spaces Planning and Design for Water, Health and Well-Being

This book is one of the major outputs of the EU-funded BlueHealth research project. It provides evidence-based guidance on planning and design for a range of blue spaces to promote human health and well-being.

As an Open Access publication it is freely available and can be downloaded from the publisher's website. There is also a special website associated with the book which contains two free to use design tools and a database of inspirational blue space projects from around the world (still being populated but will eventually contain over 180 examples).
