Abstract
The principles of high quality urban and landscape design are comparable, although they continue to be applied in many instances in silos. Consequently, assessments of successful place-making are often focussed on issues of permeability and legibility, or species mixes and landscape functionality. However, a growing body of academic and practice-centric research and teaching is focussing on a more effective alignment of urban and landscape design to create places that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and resilient to socio-economic and ecological change. Through an analysis of a series of case studies associated with the UK based Manchester Urban Design LAB the following identifies synergies between urban design and landscape planning disciplines and asks how these can be maximised in promoting the development of sustainable places. The central aim is to examine why urban designers and landscape planners don’t work together and illustrate areas where their complimentary practices can be utilised to develop best practice.
