Finding Common Ground Between New Urbanism and Landscape Urbanism
The urban design movements of New Urbanism and Landscape Urbanism are widely regarded as fundamentally opposed, but this paper argues that while their differences are indeed substantial, they possess key similarities that are overlooked. Both movements focus primarily on the context of suburban sprawl, which they regard as the crucial challenge for contemporary urban design. Furthermore, they share an interest in the role of regulations, codes and infrastructures in shaping urbanism, and view such factors as design tools to be actively used. The potential exists for fruitful collaboration and synthesis between the two sides, if they are able to perceive this common ground.
