    • In the past Urban Planning & Landscape Architecture was reduced to ‘placemaking’ and beautification but the climate crisis impels us to be ecological in all our design decisions
    • Urban Planners and Designers need to take responsibility to weave new natures that treat waste as a resource into our cityscapes to realize opportunities for sustainable, functional, and beautiful urban landscapes
    • Beauty has a function beyond simple enjoyment and humans have biological needs for experiences with nature which we must also concern ourselves with
    • Through an exploration of recent projects that combine cyclical ecological utility and beauty the presentation will outline a role for landscape architecture & urbanism that achieves artful landscapes that serve ecological ends
