Synopsis
Why do modern cities suburbs and industrial and farming landscapes all tend to look alike despite their regional settings? In this generously illustrated and provocative book a landscape architect argues that the monotony of the modern landscape is a reflection of indifference on the part of society to the diversity inherent in ecological systems and in human communities. In case studies drawn from all parts of the world-Turkey and Hong Kong to northern England and Edinburgh to Kentucky and Oregon to Ontario and Manitoba-Michael Hough shows how build environments work and what designers can do to maintain the clearly identifiable differences between one place and another.
