Review: The AA’s graduate programme in landscape urbanism incorporates the processes and techniques that have traditionally modulated the landscape into the domain of urbanism, empowering its ability to cope with the wide range of scales, the diversity of domains and the rapid changes under which it is being challenged to operate. The understanding of the landscape allows the integration of natural processes and urban development into the unfolding of an artificail ecology. This well-illustrated book brings together speculations on the future of landscape urbanism by sixteen internationally renowned urbanists, architects, landscape architects and theorists from around the world.
