Using a range of illustrated case studies, this book presents a compendium of concepts and ideas that have emerged from landscape architecture, planning, and environmental policy and management.
'Cities around the world, especially in Asia, are struggling to adapt to the immense pressures of urban migration, climate change, and pollution. Dr. MacKenzie's critical analysis of the role of landscapes in urban planning, management, and governance is an immensely valuable resource for students and professionals alike. I am pleased that this book has adopted a global approach to exploring how institutions, communities, and individuals negotiate the competing priorities between the 'urban' and 'nature' that make up cities of the 21st century.' - Associate Professor Wu Jing Wuhan University School of Urban Design.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
