Book Description:Understanding Metropolitan Landscapes considers and reflects on the fundamental relationships between metropolitan regions and their landscapes. It investigates how planning and policy help to protect, manage and enhance the landscapes that sustain our urban settlements. As global populations become more metropolitan, landscapes evolve to become increasingly dynamic and entropic; and the distinction between urban and non-urban is further fragmented and yet these spaces play an increasingly important role in sustainable development.
Editorial Review:Cities around the world, especially in Asia, are struggling to adapt to the immense pressures of urban migration, climate change, and pollution. Dr. MacKenzie's critical analysis of the role of landscapes in urban planning, management, and governance is an immensely valuable resource for students and professionals alike. I am pleased that this book has adopted a global approach to exploring how institutions, communities, and individuals negotiate the competing priorities between the 'urban' and 'nature' that make up cities of the 21st century.' - Associate Professor Wu Jing Wuhan University School of Urban Design.
