So the question remains: Are architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and city planners exempt from responsibility for the consequences of these speculative projects because the ventures originate from political and economic initiatives considered to be “above their pay grade?” Or does the escalation of this phenomenon actually provide a unique moment in which to step back and reconsider the disciplinary planning and design conventions upon which these new proposals for settlement rely?
I would suggest that this situation does imply an occasion to consider how one might plan and design for growth so that the urbanistic accoutrements necessary for a population are available only when they are needed—a kind of just-in-time urbanism that is nimbler and lighter yet retains the qualities of urban form and space demanded by a particular culture. And for the purposes of this volume, we might specifically consider how landscape systems and ecology-driven logics can, in fact, provide the infrastructures necessary for such an approach to urbanization.
