Green-Switch: Reducing the Conflict between the Industrial and the Residential Interface

This paper describes how the dilemma of the co-existence of humans and industry has been a constant topic of debate among the realms of landscape planning, many times without being clearly articulated as such. This paper examines the conflict through the study of the industrial–residential domain. Natural resources such as water and land are primary reasons of conflict. This paper explores the potential of landscape design to address this conflict. The proposed landscape design strategy green-switch combines the landscape planning concept of “greenways” and the applied ecological engineering concept of “constructed wetland” to address the conflict.
