His seminal work, \u003ci\u003eDesign by Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, blazed the trail for sustainable urban development. The road was paved with good intentions. But where exactly did it lead? And where do we go from here?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReconsidering Ian McHarg offers a fresh assessment of McHarg's lessons and legacy. It applauds his call for environmental stewardship while acknowledging its unintended results.
