The book is intended to be a transdisciplinary understanding of complex phenomena of urban ecosystems using integrative ways of knowing to address urban space dynamic problems, maintain benefits of cities, and minimize disadvantages.

This book’s author draws from in-depth interviews and observations what progress has been made with agency environmental justice (EJ) programs over the last 8 years with special attention to constructing racial meanings, reinforcing racial inequity, and delinking agency EJ efforts from the original basic principles.

Included in this proceedings are state-of-the-art papers on landscape planning. Emphasis is upon planning the visual aspects of the large and wildland areas of the United States. Specifically, papers address these themes: landscape challenges (presented as a series of "simulated visual field trips"); descriptive, quantitative, and psychometric methodologies available to solve landscape problems; available legal and policy tools; combinations of technology for solving problems; landscape management systems; new dimensions of landscape planning; and priorities for research.

Four technical training workshops were offered on the first day of the conference, which was the first time for that format. Seventy-five technical papers and visual case studies were presented over 2-1/2 days with single audience format in the mornings and concurrent sessions in the afternoons. Invited plenary speakers were Andrew Lothian from Australia and Martin “Mike” Pasqualetti from Arizona State University. Presenters were private practitioners, public agency landscape architects, and university faculty and students. The presenters were from the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, and New Zealand. The 2019 conference ended with a session devoted to the need to adequately train a future generation of visual resource practitioners, as this was recognized a was a major concerns of the planning committee while organizing the 2019 conference.
