This document appears to be notes from a class on landscape urbanism taught by Adinew Dinku at Wolkite University. It discusses how landscape architecture is influenced by ecological concepts and urbanism. Key aspects covered include how landscape urbanism integrates knowledge of ecology and adapts ecological principles to city design. Challenges to the urban landscape like pollution and wetland shrinkage are mentioned. The document also lists possible seminar topics relating to nature in cities, landscape planning and biodiversity.

5. Then, arising of sorts, a recovery of broader social, cultural, and ecological agendas
Landscape urbanisms become a fountain head of new thinking in urban landscape architecture.
Landscape urbanism – the improvement of the known landscape architecture

6. Architecture and planning, learn, no longer have to the conceptual tools for organizing the
urban realm.
Ecology becomes the lens of landscape design
Ecology
The study of interactive non-linear natural systems,
And landscape architecture is an instrumental design discipline whose primary subject matter is the
flow of matter-energy through differential physical regimes
Controlling of urban metabolism

7. Landscape has recently emerged as a model and medium for the city, with some theorists
arguing that landscape architects are the urbanists of our age.

8. Adaptation , appropriation, and flexibility are now the hallmarks of successful systems,
As it is through their ability to respond to contextual and environmental conditions that
they persists.

17. Integrating knowledge about ecology .
Adapt ecological principles in creation of cities .
How?
In depth study about the interactions of organisms,
Interactions of plants, animals, microbes; built structure( roads, buildings ) and the
physical environment (soil, air, water),
where people are concentrated (Cities and towns)

Why?
Can influence the landscape
Influence the land use planning and designing.

33. The deconstructed fragmentation of the city should be taken as model. The situations address of the last
few years has had no significant impact in the realm of landscape except for its further degradation nor
does it necessarily mean that we always have to refer to the traces of a given site to legitimate some form
of action.
