LANDSCAPE AS URBANISM/ A GENERAL THEORY

It has become conventional to think of urbanism and landscape as opposing one anotheror to think of landscape as merely providing t emporary relief from urban life as shaped by buildings and infrastructure. But, driven in part by environmental concerns, landscape has recently emerged as a model and medium for the city, with some theorists arguing that landscape architects are the urbanists of our age. In Landscape as Urbanism, one of the field's pioneers presents a powerful case for rethinking the city through landscape.
