WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
Editorial interpretation of evidence discussed in this edition.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ
The urban ecology and Landscape Architecture Foundation work validates keeping landscape architecture inside the intelligence deck. The interesting frontier is not green design imagery. It is the measurable ecological performance of designed landscapes and what happens when those landscapes enter normal maintenance, budgeting and institutional systems.
CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
This connection is an interpretation of emerging maintenance research. Institutional constraints are not a substitute for site-level ecological monitoring.
