Lewis Mumford, one of the most respected public intellectuals of
the twentieth century, speaking at a conference on the future
environments of North America, said, "In order to secure human
survival we must transition from a technological culture to an
ecological culture." In Ecohumanism and the Ecological Culture,
William Cohen shows how Mumford's conception of an educational
philosophy was enacted by Mumford's mentee, Ian McHarg, the
renowned landscape architect and regional planner at the University
of Pennsylvania. McHarg advanced a new way to achieve an ecological
culture through an educational curriculum based on fusing
ecohumanism to the planning and design disciplines. Cohen explores
Mumford's important vision of ecohumanism-a synthesis of natural
systems ecology with the myriad dimensions of human systems, or
human ecology and how McHarg actually formulated and made that
vision happen. He considers the emergence of alternative energy
systems and new approaches to planning and community development to
achieve these goals. The ecohumanism graduate curriculum should
become the basis to train the next generation of planners and
designers to lead us into the ecological culture, thereby securing
the educational legacy of both Lewis Mumford and Ian McHarg.
