Landscape Planning and Environmental Design QUOTES

1 " Will the roofs of new buildings be vegetated? If not, why not? "

― Tom Turner , Landscape Planning and Environmental Design

2 " In town and in country there must be landscapes where we can walk in safety, pick fruit, cycle, work, sleep, swim, listen to the birds, bask in the sun, run through the trees and laze beside cool waters. "

― Tom Turner , Landscape Planning and Environmental Design

3 " To achieve these goals [of making good landscapes}, there is but one necessity: when preparing and approving plans for new places, or spending money on old places, we must look beyond the confines of each and every project. Gazing at these wider horizons, we shall see that development projects are initiated by specialists who have been imprisioned within "closely drawn technical limits" and "narrowly drawn territorial boundaries" (Weddle 1967; vii). "

― Tom Turner , Landscape Planning and Environmental Design

4 " Single-purposism, as we have seen, tends to create projects that harm the environment. Instead, we should design projects with as favourable an environmental impact as possible. This is the objective of environmental impact design. "

― Tom Turner , Landscape Planning and Environmental Design

5 " Environmental planning has been too scientific, too man-centred, too past-fixated and two-dimensional. "

― Tom Turner , Landscape Planning and Environmental Design
