Restoring Mill Creek
Injustices occur when human law and social practice ignore natural processes and when those who plan, design and build the city focus on a neighbourhood's problems and fail to recognize its resources. The story of the Mill Creek neighbourhood in Philadelphia illustrates these themes. Mill Creek is shaped by all the processes at work in inner-city America. It was laid waste by the flow of water and capital, and by the violence of redevelopment and…

Urban Nature and Human Design
The city is part of nature, a fact that has profound implications for how cities are designed, built, and managed For centuries, city designers have exploited nature to promote human purposes The roots of this tradition are as diverse as the many ways in which nature contributes to human health, safety, and welfare An overview of that tradition is outlined here, along with an assessment of existing knowledge and prospects for city design
The Role of Natural Processes in the Design of Cities
The city is a part of nature, albeit altered. For the most part, the builders of cities have disregarded this fact, with dangerous and costly consequences: increased flooding, pollution, and energy demands, depletion of resources, and higher construction and maintenance costs. In recent years, scientists have documented the character of the urban, as distinct from the more rural, natural environment. This current understanding of nature in cities…
