Urban forest and landscape infrastructure: towards a landscape architecture of open-endedness
In this paper the concept of landscape infrastructure is broadened to point towards a landscape architecture of open-endedness. Urban forests seem relevant for this broadening and the forest of Sletten in Denmark is used as a case study through which a theoretical discussion in a practical context is introduced. The emergence of fragmented urban landscapes as a new urban condition has led to new forest being created in the image of the city. This calls for a paradigm shift in the way new forest is designed and managed. Through Sletten, the author shows how openness towards self-organization and change over time can lead to aesthetics becoming intertwined with an ethics of care towards fragmented urban landscapes as our everyday surroundings.
