Features: Explosive population growth, the ultra-large-scale expansion of cities, the increasing alienation of humans from the natural environment, and the ecological crisis caused by policies determined by economic interests are the dark sides of today's metropolises. M. Laurie harshly condemned these conflicts in his book "Nature and Urban Planning in the 19th Century" and, for the first time, studied the modern concept of the city as a natural regression within industrial cities. "World Landscape Design: Urban Parks" collects a series of works under the broad and multifaceted theme of urban parks. Various concepts arise due to the uncontrolled growth of modern cities and the complex typologies in the urbanization process. The concepts are defined to illustrate the works presented in this book.
