The emergence of landscape urbanism, along with the development of the protocols of digital design, must be counted one of the most significant developments in the field in recent decades. In the past ten years, a fully fledged sub-discipline has appeared. A catalogue of practitioners and projects, academic programmes and an extensive theoretical literature now
exists. To move forward, it is worthwhile taking stock of the accomplishments and limitations of the landscape urbanism approach, and to propose complementary alternatives.
