Abstract

In landscape architecture and urban planning, we currently have numerous guidelines, practical aids, handouts and recommendations for action, including for the use of vegetation in urban spaces (see Technical University of Munich 2021). However, ‘green’ is only one component of the overall, highly complex urban open space structure, and many of the greening measures propagated are designed on a sectoral basis and are often only applied rationally. A more comprehensive consideration of the role of landscape architecture in the urban planning of the future is necessary in order to critically scrutinise stereotypical ideas and explain principles that will be decisive for the efficiency of the ‘natural life support system’ in the city of tomorrow.
