The Granite Garden: Urban Nature and Human Design
The Granite Garden presents, synthesizes, and applies knowledge from many disciplines to show how cities are part of nature and to demonstrate how they can be planned and designed in concert with natural processes rather than in conflict. Winner of the 1984 President’s Award of Excellence from the ASLA and deemed by the APA as “one of the essential books of planning,” the book is credited with having “touched off the ecological urbanism movement.” This new e-edition includes a new bibliography, new cases, and reflections on what has changed over the past 30 years.
Forthcoming in 2014.
