This book focuses on ecological wisdom inspired restoration
engineering through theories, hypotheses, policies, practical
understanding, and case studies. Understanding nature's processes
is a prerequisite for the healthy and sustainable functioning of a
habitable Earth. As such, the book provides a guide for readers
seeking to understand and build sustainable, urban socio-ecological
systems using restoration technologies based on wisdom. Motivated
by recent rapid advances in restoration engineering, such as the
role of green building materials in urban infrastructures, and
developing sustainable landscapes to benefit the environment,
economy and communities, it is an essential reference on the most
promising innovative technologies. It discusses engineering methods
and practices in the restoration of soil, water, heritage sites,
and other ecosystems, as well as the development and applications
of green building materials. It presents a holistic and systematic
approach that utilizes natural resources and the concept of
ecological wisdom to reap sustainable environmental, economic and
social benefits to fulfill the concept of living in harmony with
nature. This book is a valuable resource for civil- and
environmental engineering researchers as well as organizations
engaged in eco-restoration practices.
