Issue 08: The Urban/Rural Edge
April 2005
Issue eight explores land usage, how it has evolved to blur the distinctions once associated with the urban/rural divide. Urban farming, city markets, and turning fields into prisons are topics discussed in this context. East Asia has seen a resurgence in the importance of cities that experienced a precipitous decline since the 17th century. South Korea has added a completely planned city on its map. Developing creative solutions to waste landscapes and neighborhood destruction are also included.
