"Places of Power" contributes to the Landscape Architecture Foundation’s Landscape Futures Initiative, which explores driving forces of landscape change that societies and designers will face in the 21st century. Politics and economics exert profoundly important, and dynamic, influences on land use, landcover, and landscape experience. Likewise, landscapes shape political economies from the site to global scales. This book examines the complex relationships between political economy and landscape change. It encompasses perspectives ranging from radical landscape interpretation to sustainable livelihoods, real estate economics, institutions, international landscape policies, and global finance. It asks what difference "design", can make within the broader structural contexts of landscape change. The perspectives in this book share a common concern for what economist and futurist Kenneth Boulding termed "integrative power" – the power of human solidarity, respect, and love – to direct political and economic change toward paths of sustainable landscape design. They speak to landscape architects, planners, urbanists, geographers, and social scientists about some of the most pressing issues of our times.

Water scarcity is becoming increasingly familiar to us. Although access to water resources is an issue of global concern, arid climates are where necessity begets inventions that may serve as examples for action or prevention across a multitude of climate zones and geographies. In facing the prevalence of water scarcity across the globe, due to a mix of climatological and man-made factors, the question we must ask ourselves today is Water for What? Which approaches can landscape, urban and architectural designers take in order to apply their specific professional skills and means? What potential do available technologies and materials offer, and what methods and tools can be derived from social engagement? Based on five years of research, the preparation of and feedback on a traveling exhibition, as well as a major conference, the results of the Out of Water project are laid out here in a series of case studies and essays by international experts, including analytical drawings of both projected and implemented solutions. Zunehmend sind wir damit konfrontiert, dass Wasser ein sehr knappes Gut ist, insbesondere in Gebieten mit trockenem Klima. Der Mangel an Wasser verlangt nach präventiven oder kompensatorischen Lösungen, die Vorbildcharakter haben können. Wasser wofür? Dies muss die Leitfrage sein, um auf die Folgen von Klimawandel und menschlicher Intervention zu reagieren.Mit welchen Strategien können die besonderen Kompetenzen von Landschaftsarchitektur, Urbanismus und Architektur für diese komplexen Probleme aktiviert werden? Welche Technologien und Materialien stehen zur Verfügung? Welche Methoden und Werkzeuge können eingesetzt werden? Welche Rolle kann soziales Engagement spielen? In der Folge mehrjähriger Forschungen, einer wandernden Ausstellung und einer internationalen Konferenz werden die Probleme und vielseitigen Lösungen hier von Experten aus den relevanten Disziplinen dargestellt. Die Dokumentation der Entwurfslösungen und die Visualisierungen der Analysen erfolgen mit eigens für dieses Buch angefertigten Zeichnungen.
