Summary:
"In contemporary Western society, urban development is regarded as an unfortunate blight from which nature provides a much-needed respite. This apparent dichotomy ignores the interdependence between human settlement and the natural world. In fact, one of the most pressing problems facing urban theorists today is determining how to resolve the tension between the built and natural environments, in the process creating truly sustainable cities. Landscape Urbanism and its Discontents is a collection of essays exploring the debate over urban reform, often polarized around the two competing paradigms of Landscape Urbanism and New Urbanism. Landscape Urbanism is conceived as a more ecologically-based approach, while New Urbanism is more concerned with built form. Well-known and influential urban theorists such as
Andres
Duany
and James Howard Kunstler delve into the impact of the tension between the two perspectives on: Smart growth, Neighborhood design, Sustainable development and Creating cities that are in balance with nature."--Provided by publisher.
