Reflecting Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe's view that landscape architecture is the Mother of the Arts, the author offers a survey of the discipline for designers, planners and architects. The five chapters of the book discuss the themes of image and function of urban spaces: ecological survival; sustainability; native peoples and their settlements; environmental education; and the role and nature of human settlement. Schemes range from a disused German gasworks to an indigenous people's settlement in Australia, and take the shape of urban parks, botanic gardens, government buildings and ecological projects.
