Planting and Landscaping for Sustainability
Among other benefits, effective planting and landscaping contributes to the cooling of urban areas. They mitigate building practices that often utilize materials which absorb and reflect heat to create extreme temperature fluctuations. These fluctuations can lead to droughts which threaten the biodiversity and resilience. This chapter examines sustainable landscaping design concepts. The chapter first highlights the importance of planting and landscaping for sustainability, then examines strategic planting for weather control, explores the principles of xeriscaping, presents the concept of planting for placemaking, and illustrates the benefits of edible landscapes. It concludes with recommendations for planners of how to incorporate landscaping and planting to ultimately counteract the urban heat island effect and conserve water.
