2 Sustainability has occupied a prominent but contested place on development and conservation discourse. IUCN (1997) the revolution of environmental awareness makes sustainability the theme of our times. Increase perception on environmental degradation making sustainability issue in urban landscape become an important topic biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, landscape fragmentation, climate change and urban heat islands great stress upon the natural and built environment (Amin 2012).
3 Big Q: Do we need to put the word sustainable in every research proposal / project proposal?
4 Can we achieve SD? Can our city be sustainable? Can we find the balance?
5 Can we achieve SD? Can our city be sustainable? Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners Relies on solar energy and other renewable energy sources Will not waste a single drop of water Masdar City is being constructed 17 kilometres (11 mi) east-south-east of the city of Abu Dhabi, beside Abu Dhabi International Airport Masdar City in Abu Dhabi Source: Wikipedia

7 Luxurious nature? Profit driven? Green washing? Win-win?
8 SD as a process SD as an outcome/result
9 Perception urbanization as the cause. There are different thoughts some consider urbanization is vital to regional and global sustainability, whereas others regard urban and sustainability as contradicting. Logically speaking, if our cities are unsustainable, urban landscape should be part of the solution to regional and global sustainability problems (Benson & Roe, 2007).
10 The concept of sustainability in association with urbanization and landscape includes (1) technical aspects energy saving, reusing material, environmental management or ecology and (2) non-technical aspects like social behaviour and spatial organization. Design point of view landscape sustainability has to be approached holistically + the technological side of sustainability should be considered as an accepted standard and a self-evident part of the project requirements rather than a desired ideal (Christianease & Salweski, 2009).
11 Sustainable urban landscape planning and design should be understood as a multidimensional and multipurpose managed change of the natural and built environment a corner stone for sustainable cities. It influences the production of quality spaces, urban patterns, support of environmentally sensitive development and promotion of participatory processes to allow citizens awareness and involvement (Rosales, 2010). Urban sustainability is fundamentally the sustainability of the urban landscape as a whole (Claudia & Kristin, 2009),
12 Sustainable Urban Landscape: Discourses and Dimensions Sustainable landscapes (SL) commonly describes landscapes that support environmental quality and conservation of natural resources. A well designed sustainable landscape reflects a high level of self-sufficiency. Once established, it should grow and mature virtually on its own as if nature had planted it (Benson & Roe, 2007).
13 Urban landscape in particular is a growing area of consideration, but one which has an identifiable history. In England the importance of urban landscape dates back to the early nineteenth century when it was seen as an antidote to the harshness of city life (the first major public park was established in 1843 at Birkenhead) and as important in providing a setting for housing (e.g. Regent s Park, London, 1838). In the USA, Olmsted pioneered the idea of urban landscape systems with his emerald necklace of parks around the city of Boston.
14 In terms of theory, Larkham and Jones (1991:78) saw urban landscape simply as the visual appearance of a town. Conzen (1969) described urban landscape as being a combination of three complex systematic forms which include town plan, building fabric and land use.
15 More recent commentators have taken an increasingly wide view, developing holistic concepts of the need to establish ecologically sound approaches to urban space (Gordon, 1990) and to develop urban green infrastructure that includes parks, green corridors, open green spaces and other space between and within urban areas (Benedict and McMahon, 2002).

18 SUL should emphasize critical issues and concerns such as: 1. Aesthetic: Although sustainable landscapes may appear more natural and less manicured, they still rely on basic principles to create a visually appealing combination of plants and materials. Aesthetic principles including accent, contrast, harmony, repetition and unity ensure the design is attractive, visually compatible and has a sense of fit with the context.
19 2. Functional: This dictates whether the design will be usable and will meet certain health and safety criteria SUL elaborate other important factors such as cost effectiveness and maintainability. These are strongly connected with functional aspect and depends on the appropriate plants and raw materials selection, the compatibility between use and maintaining process, the location and also the ratio between soft and hard elements (Calkins, 2009; Vanderzen & Rodie, 2008).
20 3. Environmental: Including enhancing landscape microclimate, increase biodiversity and maximizes reuse of resources. Major environmental concerns using plants that provide habitat as well as aesthetic value. Reduced resource use and waste + reusing resources choosing the correct plants and their locations (Smith, Clayden & Dunnett, 2008).
21 3. Environmental: Effective sustainable design not only incorporates recycled materials, but also addresses how communities can recycle for the good of their landscapes (Rodie, 2010). Sustainable urban landscape should also address the concerns of sociability with its variant qualities such as diversity, cooperation, intimacy and sense of friendly spaces (Claudia & Kristin, 2009). The Qamar, Paka, Trg
22 Conclusion The landscape settings do have a great deal towards enhancing sustainability in the urban fabric due to its hue, which combines natural and manmade components. Sustainable urban landscape encompasses more than ecological concerns. Although ecological concerns and adapted technologies are mostly connected to sustainability, sustainable urban landscape has to appropriate other intangible dimensions. Thus, there are several aspects considering the sustainability of urban landscape.
23 Conclusion These aspects are also associated by other concerns such social and communal interactions. Sustainable urban landscape is a state of balance and complementation between these aspects all together in order to enhance the contextual environment and to raise the quality of life.
