Landscape Planning And Design

There is a growth resentment that our cities are becoming factories or assembly

lines with no places for recreation and relaxations. This is an outcome of intermediate

concretization. There is an intimate relationship between the landscape, green area

and ground water. Loss of biomass also leads to extinction and disappearance

of large number of birds and other species, causing threat to the ecosystem.

The impact of greenery on the microclimate is well established. How to increase

green biomass in the cities and how landscape can be used creatively, as a

tool in enhancing the quality of environment, is an important challenge for the

development of liveable cities.
