"The Living Landscape" is a manifesto, resource, and textbook for
architects, landscape architects, environmental planners, students,
and others involved in creating human communities. Since its first
edition, published in 1990, it has taught its readers how to
develop new built environments while conserving natural resources.
No other book presents such a comprehensive approach to planning
that is rooted in ecology and design. And no other book offers a
similar step-by-step method for planning with an emphasis on
sustainable development. This second edition of "The Living
Landscape" offers Frederick Steiner's design-oriented ecological
methods to a new generation of students and professionals.
"The Living Landscape" offers
- a systematic, highly practical approach to landscape planning
that maximizes ecological objectives, community service, and
citizen participation
- more than 20 challenging case studies that demonstrate how
problems were met and overcome, from rural America to large
cities
- scores of checklists and step-by-step guides
- hands-on help with practical zoning, land use, and regulatory
issues
- coverage of major advances in GIS technology and global
sustainability standards
- more than 150 illustrations.
As Steiner emphasizes throughout this book, all of us have a
responsibility to the Earth and to our fellow residents on this
planet to plan with vision. We are merely visiting this planet, he
notes; we should leave good impressions.
