Global warming and the resulting climate change affect our cities
the most. In the recent years, migration to cities from the rural
areas has increased. With this, an orderly structuring occurred in
the cities, and as a result, the quality of the urban environment
started to decrease. For this reason, planners and designers have
started to introduce different approaches to make cities more
sustainable and livable. This book contains new theories,
approaches and practices that scientists deal with regarding
physical planning and design.
Global warming and the resulting climate change affect the cities
most. With the decrease of rural areas in recent years, migration
to cities has increased. With the rapid migration, an orderly
structuring occurred in the cities, and as a result, the quality of
the urban environment has started to decrease. In order to mitigate
this issue, planners and designers have started to use different
approaches to make cities more sustainable and livable. This book
contains new theories, approaches and practices that scientists
devise for physical planning and design.
One of the main objectives of planning and design is the reflection
of the works to the space. Therefore, the starting point of this
book is to reveal the research conducted by different professions
in the field of spatial planning and design. For this purpose,
original researches on direct application and land were included.
Planning and design studies need co-operation between professions
in order to fulfill this philosophy. These activities are effective
means of fulfilling the philosophy of sustainability. Planning and
design is a tool to tell the story of a community, and how it's
past, present and future work together for a sustainable tomorrow.
The design process in which the most appropriate spatial
compositions are revealed by shaping the areas in the direction of
planning decisions, develops in the continuation of the planning
process. This book is for landscape architects and other planning
and design professions. Theoretical foundations, theories, methods,
and applications will be essential parts of this reference book. In
addition, this book addresses several very different subjects of
study; landscape management, biodiversity, landscape restoration,
landscape design, urban design, urban planning and architectural
design related to theory, practice and the results will be covered.

this book is a broad audience including environmentalists,
landscape architects, architects, environmentalists, botanists,
urban and regional planners, government agencies, non-governmental
organizations, agricultural organizations, students at all levels,

important of the sustainable planning and design professions. It is
the design of outdoor and public spaces to achieve environmental,
socio-behavioral, and/or aesthetic outcomes. It involves the
systematic investigation of existing social, ecological, and
geological conditions and processes in the landscape, and the
design of interventions that will produce the desired outcome.
