The Landscape Urbanism Movement

The Landscape Urbanism Movement is an approach to urban design that emphasizes the integration of natural landscapes with urban environments. It advocates for using landscape as a foundational element in planning cities, considering ecological processes, public spaces, and cultural contexts. Instead of prioritizing buildings and infrastructure alone, it focuses on creating vibrant, sustainable communities by incorporating parks, green roofs, and waterways into urban design. This movement aims to improve environmental quality, enhance livability, and encourage biodiversity within urban areas, ultimately fostering a harmonious relationship between nature and urban life.
