Territories of Urbanism (Challenges)

Urban design create new relationship through the engagement of landscape and urbanism
Urban design might just lodge landscape architecture as a conceivable home
Challenges of urban design to move forward:
  • Mobility 
  • Contemporary economy 
  • Ecology
Richard Marshall's arguments:

  • Embedded in a discourse : landscape architecture was a central to the project 
  • Diminishing of landscape role: mobilization/operability of the program and the descendant of the architecture defining urban design
The speaker thinks focusing on a single profession metaphor in urban design coincide precisely with the formation of an academic program is not coincidental. The challenges in urban design might be due to the struggle between the institutionalization of the discourse of urban design and the need we address challenges which exceed or transcend boundaries. 
Urban environment transcend disciplinary and professional boundary and thus he suggests that we need to look back in history to "rewrite our present context".
