This is a set that brings together scholarly work on historical,
conceptual, and technical aspects of the urban landscape. The role
of landscape, as recreational, public, social, ecological,
infrastructural and experiential component of the urban environment
has been increasingly recognized during the past decade. The
traditional conception of the urban as something that is made of
streets and building facades has been replaced by a more complex
notion that is inclusive of landscape as a generative and
foundational component of the city itself.
As cities have continued to expand into metropolitan areas,
landscapes have played a key role in the organization of urban
territories. This set reflects the role that landscapes have played
in the ongoing evolution of cities, from industrial to service
based economies. Making readily available in one place materials
which are difficult for scholars, researchers, and students across
the globe to locate and use, this treasure trove of information
includes global scholarship, supplemented with a comprehensive
introduction by the editor which places the collected material in
its historical and intellectual context."
