Comments and news about Environmental Planning and Design. Intended for all audiences including students and alumni of the Rutgers major of Environmental Planning and Design.
I don't want to sound too much a nostalgic, eurocentric, and McHargian bureucrat, but I practically lost it during the China illustration when Waldheim claimed that the Neoliberal economic sphere had created the conditions for the failure of teh McHargian project.
Landscape Urbanism seems like the natual outgrowth of Neoliberal econmomics and politics. Yes, it does use "ecolgical principles" as a pretty dress in selling and rationalizing that model.
Man, for once I'm relieved to be an old man and able to avoid exposure to this stuff! Make smy head explode.
Oh, and designing the shape of a park/public space based upon the shape of the contaminated groundwater plume? WTF!

Waldheim seems the worst kind of fraud.
