Bryan Bailey replied to Bryan Bailey's discussion 'Sustainable Landscapes'
"Thanks for explaining. I can agree with that. I find myself inspired by older published work by Ian McHarg and Jane Jacobs but not so much by recent writings... Maybe it's because McHarg and Jacobs were more like leaders/activists than designer…"
