• CHAPTER 3 A Conceptual Framework for Neighbourhood Landscape Design
• 3.1 Conceptual foundations
• 1. Neighbourhood landscapes need to be viewed through multidisciplinary lenses
• 2. Neighbourhood landscape design and management are connected to and serve the urban development goals of sustainability, liveability, and resilience
• 3. Neighbourhoods are urban ecosystems nested within a larger urban ecosystem
• 4. Neighbourhood landscapes generate landscape services which support human well-being
• 5. Neighbourhood landscapes form a value chain linking ecological processes to benefits for humans
• 6. Landscape design should be a transdisciplinary process translating normative goals into landscape changes
• 3.2 Conceptual framework for neighbourhood landscape design.
• 3.3 Principles and strategies for neighbourhood landscapes design
• Principle 1 - Neighbourhood landscapes are ecosystems connected to larger ecosystems
• Principle 2 - As part of a social-ecological system, social and ecological processes that interact in concert determine the character of neighbourhood landscapes
• Principle 3 - Neighbourhood landscapes are dynamic
• Principle 4 - Ecosystem functions remain important, even at the scale of neighbourhood landscapes
• Principle 5 - Heterogeneity in neighbourhood landscapes promotes biodiversity and ecosystem functions
