Landscape Urbanism is a theory of urban planning that argues the best way to organize cities is through the design of the city's landscape rather than the design of its buildings. The phrase 'Landscape Urbanism' first appeared in the mid-1990s. The document discusses examples of various living spaces in Manchester city centre, which experienced a 400% population increase between 2001-2011. It also outlines plans to document and photograph prominent living spaces in at least 2 areas each week to understand how new homes are shaping the city centre.

3. Some examples of the various
spaces in the city that people
call home.
5. Manchester city centre experienced a
population explosion between 2001 and
2011. In the area covered by the map on the
next page, the population increased by
nearly 400% - from 5,957 to 23,295, a rise
of 17,388 people.
6. The map above contains a total of 15
small areas known as super output
areas.
I plan to document these areas and
understand more about how these new
homes are shaping the city centre and
9. I plan to visit at least 2 areas each week
and photograph the most prominent
living spaces.

11. All photographers hope to
have some idea of what theyre
hoping to find when they go out
to shoot, but you have to be
open to what the world throws
at you, and engage with how it
challenges and transforms
your original idea.
