| Description: |
Landscape Urbanism vs. the New Urbanism-negotiating the relationship between cities and the natural world. |
| Synopsis: |
Intended audience includes: urban planners, urban designers, architects, landscape architects, cultural geographers, urban sociologists and others working in the fields of sustainability and community. It will also be of value to those interested in understanding the theoretical positions of Landscape Urbanism and the New Urbanism more broadly.This book explores the tension and debate involved in trying to promote cities that are in balance with nature and the debate over the best approach t to urban sustainability, now polarized around two competing paradigms: Landscape Urbanism and New Urbanism.This book is positioned as a response to the case for Landscape Urbanism as laid out in a number texts. A counter-critique is necessary because to date, there has been no formal response from proponents of the New Urbanism. The book will provide critical reviews and appraisal of the emergence of Landscape Urbanism from the perspective of leading urban designers and New Urbanists, intending to encourage dialogue among those currently involved in both camps. |
