Growing Urbanism: An Evolutionary Urban Ecology in Cascadia
Book chapter in Now Urbanism: The New City is Here, Routledge, 2015
Abstract
Imagine a city in which nature and urban form are indistinguishable. Food grows in permaculture gardens where people live and work; tidelands re-emerge in industrial zones, allowing rivers to return to their meandering past; and twentieth-century infrastructure is replaced by biologically engineered soft systems that generate increasingly complex ecosystems. The beginnings of Growing Urbanism flourish amid the monuments of a bygone industrial era.
