| Abstract |
This paper examines different characteristics of New Urbanism(NU) and Landscape Urbanism(LU) and analyzes criticisms on both movements in order to find out conflicting and complementary elements. Differences between NU and LU can be classified in three categories: philosophy and attitudes on urban design, theoretic principles, and practical approaches. A large portion of criticism are leveled from both sides on the concepts on urban design and apparent contradiction is found. However, contradiction in the theoretical part is not significant. There are rather high potentials to make up for the weakness of both movements by eclectically adopting other’s theoretic principles. Conflicting elements is found in urban design practice of NU and LU, especially in the debate on a desirable structural form for the contemporary city. However, the strategy of regional connection can be adapted to the urban design practice of others without a significant conflict. Depending on the size and characteristic of cities, either NU and LU can suggest better solution; therefore it is not a matter of the value-judgement. If NU and LU correct their weakness by embracing criticisms, both movements can suggest more improved urban design strategies to face with complicated problems of contemporary cities. |
