Preface
I am honored to present to you this unique book which encompasses the most up-to-
date data in the field. I was extremely pleased to get this opportunity of editing the
work of experts from across the globe. I have also written papers in this field and
researched the various aspects revolving around the progress of the discipline. I have
tried to unify my knowledge along with that of stalwarts from every corner of the
world, to produce a text which not only benefits the readers but also facilitates the
growth of the field.
The art of designing open spaces to achieve aesthetic, environmental and socio-
behavioral outcomes is referred to as landscape architecture. It pertains to the
achievement of environmental and socio-behavioral output, involving a structured
study of current social, ecological, and geological conditions and systems in the
landscape which create the desired effect through design involvement. The purview
of the book includes: landscape master planning and design - all at varying levels
of design, planning and management. This book focuses on current developments in
understanding of landscape architecture. Hence, this book will find use in appropriate
professional disciplines.
Finally, I would like to thank all the contributing authors for their valuable time and
contributions. This book would not have been possible without their efforts. I would
also like to thank my friends and family for their constant support.
