Technologist landscape architects rejoice?the November issue of LAM is packed with imagined scenarios, myth breakers, and tantalizing possible futures for urban design. Whether or not autonomous vehicles will allow for utopian cities of tomorrow depends on careful planning and policies today, says writer Brian Barth. And the future of autonomous vehicles might not look as green as we?re imagining. A new landscape by Ki Concepts on Honolulu?s Ford Island?site of the Pearl Harbor attack in World War II?weaves the richly layered history of the site into a sleek, cohesive design. And a new streetscape redesign by CRSA in the Sugar House business district of Salt Lake City turns a large thoroughfare into an inviting multimodal streetscape. In Materials, Jane Berger discusses the stigma?and benefits?of the often-misunderstood bamboo.

The full table of contents for November can be found here.
