"The globally homogenised landscape aesthetic – which sees parks from
Boston to Brisbane looking worryingly similar – will diminish in
importance as future urban green space will be attuned to local values
and cultural perceptions of beauty. This will lead to a far greater
diversity of urban landscape designs than are apparent today. Already,
we are seeing new purposes for urban landscaping that are transforming
the 20th century woodland park into bioswales – plantings designed to
filter stormwater – green roofs, wildlife corridors, and urban food
gardens."
