A manual, monograph, and call to action, Toward an Urban Ecology
points to the future of landscape architecture's role in making
resilient, sustainable, and community-oriented spaces. Kate Orff,
2017 MacArthur Fellow, has an optimistic and transformative message
about our world: we can bring together social and ecological
systems to sustainably remake our cities and landscapes. Part
monograph, part manual, part manife-sto, Toward an Urban Ecology
reconceives urban landscape design as a form of activism,
demonstrating how to move beyond familiar and increasingly outmoded
ways of thinking about environmental, urban, and social issues as
separate domains; and advocating for the synthesis of practice to
create a truly urban ecology. In purely practical terms, SCAPE has
already generated numerous tools and techniques that designers,
policy makers, and communities can use to address some of the most
pressing issues of our time, including the loss of biodiversity,
the loss of social cohesion, and ecological degradation. Toward an
Urban Ecology features numerous projects and select research from
SCAPE, and conveys a range of strategies to engender a more
resilient and inclusive built environment.
