Cities and Natural Process Summary

Cities and Natural Process by Michael Hough

Cities and Natural Process is a discussion of the fundamental conflict in the perception of nature and an expression of the essential need for an environmental view when approaching urban design. Whilst retaining the existing structure, each of the chapters has been revised to take into account recent theoretical and practical developments. A completely new concluding chapter has been added which draws together the themes of the volume and links these to broader landscape issues such as greenway systems, landscape ecology and green infrastructure.

Cities and Natural Process Reviews

'This is a book of ideas and imagination which should stimulate anyone concerned about the future of urban life ... excellent material to stimulate tutorial discussion.' - Times Higher Education Supplement

'A classic in our own time ... its message is sorely needed; its painstaking and authoritative guidance will be of inestimable value.' - Landscape Architecture

' ... a concise, comprehensive and readable volume ... that applies not only to landscape architecture but to all professionals involved in city planning and conservation ... an excellent textbook.' - Landscape Architecture

'A landmark in the environmental literature ... for the first time an author has attempted in one concise, comprehensive volume, to treat as an ecosystem a major part of the modern landscape which has generally been regarded as outside the range of natural process: the city.' - Land Use Policy
