Description

Kate Orff, 2017 MacArthur Fellow, has an optimistic and transformative message about our world: we will be able to bring together social and ecological systems to sustainably remake our cities and landscapes. Part monograph, part manual, part manife­sto, Toward an Urban Ecology reconceives urban landscape design as a type of activism, demonstrating find out how to move beyond familiar and more and more outmoded ways of enthusiastic about environmental, urban, and social issues as separate domains; and advocating for the synthesis of practice to create a actually urban ecology.
 
In purely practical terms, SCAPE has already generated a large number of tools and techniques that designers, policy makers, and communities can use to address probably the most most pressing issues of our time, including the lack of biodiversity, the lack of social cohesion, and ecological degradation. Toward an Urban Ecology features a large number of projects and choose research from SCAPE, and conveys a range of strategies to engender a more resilient and inclusive built environment.
