Notes

Rapid urbanization has led to an ever increasing proportion of our population living in cities and surrounding suburbs. With this increase, the actual and perceived quality of intensely humanized urban and suburban landscapes grows in importance. As humans we long for a habitat, a landscape, in which we can develop our full potential. How well do suburban landscapes currently meet our needs? This paper presents an overview of three suburban landscape types in the East Bay. Recurring and unique elements found in each type are discussed. Views on suburban landscapes are reviewed. And, finally, we argue that these landscapes are much more than "walled gardens", not only are they integral parts of suburbia, but, as a whole comprise an American symbol.
