=== Steps 3 and 4: Concepts Selection and definition ===
* Each group member selects three relevant concepts derived from his/her readings and synthesize them/publish them on the wiki by '''May 9, 2018'''
* Group members reflect within their groups and define their chosen concepts into a shared definition to be posted on the wiki by '''June 6, 2018.'''

*Each group will also report on their process to come to a set of shared definitions of key landscape democracy concepts on the wiki documentation until '''June 20, 2018'''

'''Concepts and definitions'''

'''Author 1: Sanja Budinski'''
*CONCEPT 1 (Sanoff, Henry (2014): Multiple Views of Participatory Design) - Participatory design is a force of change in creation of human's environments creating benefits such as citizen empowerment, increasing social capital and promoting a sense of community.
*CONCEPT 2 (The New Urban Agenda Quito Declaration on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements for All, UN resolution from December 2016) - Principles of sustainable and inclusive urban prosperity, equity and opportunity for all will ensure successful transformation of our cities in the process of global urbanization.
*CONCEPT 3 (The New Urban Agenda Quito Declaration on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements for All, UN resolution from December 2016) - People centered planning needs to go beyond community engagement to empower all individuals and communities in order to end all forms of discrimination.

'''Author 2: Sarah Jankowski'''

*CONCEPT 1: "Socially inclusive process - Consensus vs. democracy": It is the concept about everybody participating at a planning process or desicion. Everybody comes to the same opinion in the end without an arising minority (Day, Christofer: Consensus Design).

*CONCEPT 2: "Environmental Justice and City Planning and Design": The concept of landscape literacy invites inhabitants of the Mill Creek getting literate (landscape literacy). That means they have to study their history, experience and culture. After that they start to recognize the problems in their environment (Spirn, Anne: Restoring Mill Creek).

*CONCEPT 3: "Techniques for Participatory Design": The aim is to create places with people by visualizing, communicating and designing by 5 special methods. These are representing the people, exchanging professional knowledge, coauthoring design, empowering people to represent themselves and visualizing deep values (Hester, Randolph: Democratic Drawing).

'''Author 3: Farzaneh Rezabeigy Sani'''

*CONCEPT 1: "Palladian landscape": It is the concept about style of building developed by Andrea Palladio in Italy. his style in the building makes a visionary landscape which holds in our mind. because of geometry, uniformity, and proportion. ( Olwig, Kenneth R. (1996): "Recovering the Substantive Nature of Landscape").

*CONCEPT 2: "Nature, custom, and landscape": landscape has a strong relation ship with the custom and nature, as in Islamic history of building mosques always have elaborated and expensive sceneries, they always have been placed in the center using a one-point perspective.( Olwig, Kenneth R. (1996): "Recovering the Substantive Nature of Landscape").

*CONCEPT 3: "Landscape demolishing as a film making process": What we see represented in the film is therefore a form of what the American literary scholar Rob Nixon has called slow violence – a process of delayed environmental destruction that is dispersed across time and space.Welk Von Mossner, Alexa (2014): Cinematic Landscapes, In Topos, No. 88, 2014.

'''Author 5: Giulia'''
LANDSCAPE AT HUMAN SCALE

<gallery caption="Pollution of Krivaja river" widths="150px" heights="150px" perrow="7">
File:Krivaja-kanali-zarasli-ciscenje-trska-plovidba 660x330.jpg|why did you select this case?The Krivaja River, 109 kilometers long, is the longest watercourse that flows throughout Vojvodina, Serbia. However, due to the launch of new industrial plants that directly pollute the river, especially in the municipality of Backa Topola, this watercourse is now completely dead. Location: 45.826527, 19.512625
File:0.jpg| what is the issue/conflict The pollution, coming mostly from meat factories, but also from the intensive agriculture and sewage has tremendously bad effect on the population in the area. Weight of the problem can be seen from the example of the fact that people cannot open their windows because of the unbearable odor coming from the river. Furthermore, even though the pollution hasn't reached the local water supply system, in the event of a change in pressure, the pollutant could reach water pipes. (1)
File:B4-1.jpg|what is the issue/conflict - Besides affecting local population directly and indirectly, pollution in river Krivaja has negative effects on biodiversity and overall environment. As the largest river with the source in Vojvodina, Krivaja has the potential to develop tourism, fishing and irrigation systems. However, the river in such a bad ecological state can not provide ecosystem services; but instead, it can only have negative impact on its surroundings.(2)
File:10 Gradska deponija Backa Topola.JPG|who are the actors? - Inspection for water pollution confirmed that there are several industry facilities mostly responsible for polluting the river. IM Topola (meat industry), Topiko Perutnina Ptuj (slaughter and processing of poultry meat), AIK Zibel (processing of animal waste) and JKP Komgrad (secondary municipal wastewater) are the companies having the most impact. Part of the Krivaja pollution problem is also diffuse pollution originating from the arable land surrounding it. Citizens themselves also have the role in polluting. Because Krivaja passes through several villages that do not have sewage, some households have connected their fecal drains directly to the riverbed.

File:Capture.JPG|UN's Sustainable Development Goal? In case of Krivaja river, water pollution has negative impact on human health, livelihood choices and general wellbeing. Water supply is in serious danger directly affecting people's health.
File:Wefw.JPG|UN's Sustainable Development Goal? The problem of Krivaja river is directly connected with the lack of systemic approach and cooperation among actors. The goal number 12 of the UN's 17 sustainable development Goals i.e. Responsible consumption and production could be a starting point in reversing degradation and polluting and increasing the quality of life.

<gallery caption="Redesign of the city centre Freising" widths="150px" heights="150px" perrow="7">
Image: Marktplatz Freising.jpg|caption: Freising the university and dome town with about 50.000 inhabitants is located in the north of munich next to the munich airport. Its history goes back to 739 A.D. That's why you can find an old city center here. Because of changed human needs the city center is redesigned during a huge planning process. That's why I chose this case. 48°24'01.9"N 11°44'37.5"E
Image: ISSUE1 SJ-001.jpg|caption: One of the main conflicts or issues in the city center of Freising is the abundance of traffic and its different road users like car drivers bicyclists and pedestrians. This together with the missing accessibility for all people causes many incidents. Furthermore, you hardly find public squares where you are able to rest, it's noisy and in general a out-of-date and not sustainable design.
Image: ISSUE2 SJ-001.jpg|caption: With these 3 pictures I'd like to point to the conflict of the less squares and the missing identity of the city center. Some years ago, the city center had a strong character because of the beautiful stream, which has been flowing through the city. Since the space was needed for cars, the Moosach was overbuilt and together with its beauty disappeared under the streets. Until 2013 it is going to be opened again.
Image: Actors SJ-001.jpg|caption: The actors of the redesign of the city center Freising are the town Freising itself, the inhabitants, landscape architects who participated at the landscape architectural competition, the association of "lebenfindetinnenstadt.de" and the "Städtebauförderung" (urban development promotion program). This project was aimed at public participation, in particular to create a place for everybody with handicap or not.
Image: Sustainable SJ-001.jpg|caption: The city of Freising and the planner team set up the goal 11 of the sustainable development goals of the united nations, which is "sustainable cities and communities".Therefore they developed a masterplan including an accessible pedestrian area, public squares, mobile trees, improved lighting and flooring. The interaction of these factors leads to a better identity of the town, reduces the noise and the accidents and embellishs the community.
Image: Energy SJ-001.jpg|caption: Another UN's Sustainable Development Goal in this project is the affordable and clean energy programm. During the construction works they prepared a sustainable district heating network. Residents aren't dependent on fossil fuels any more and this improves the climate in general.

<gallery caption="A TOP TO DOWN URBAN DESIGN PROJECT" widths="150px" heights="150px" perrow="7">
Image:Emam-hossein.jpg|caption: why did you select this case?Imam-Husein Square was one of the oldest traditional and commercial districts in the capital, the important reason why I chose this area is that renovation of this square is one the few urban projects that are done in Tehran, and unfortnately completely unsuccessful.
Image:2278701.jpg|caption: what is the issue/conflict (1)the most significant issue here is the brutal image of this new space, which is made of some huge iron structures and is totally incompatible with the soul of the place. moreover, it has produced a detached and discontinuous edge that does not cover the space.
Image:313207 511.jpg|caption: what is the issue/conflict (2)as you see in the picture, there is an underpass behind the square. traffic problems seem to be solved here, but a lot of homeless people spend the night in the outlying places which are the products of this unappealing design. all the small shops and retails disappeared, and despite of religious ambiance of the place, prostitutes stand there at night and seek for their opportunities.
Image:289.jpg |caption: who are the actors? clearly, this project is a top-down process, even the consulting companies acted beneath the government. the head designer was a foreigner who didnt completely dominated Iranian culture and architecture. ultimately the space and its components were designed in a modern way.
Image:Untitled.png |caption: UN's Sustainable Development Goal? I think the biggest problem here is not to participating all the people in the process. so this goal is the nearest subject.
Image:Untitled1.png |caption: UN's Sustainable Development Goal? the second useful goal and approach that we can have is to operating system like a roundtrip. for instance in the Imam Husein square if we iniate a new design but in every section we make sure of our products and usage pattern of people, it would give a very nice opportunity to create the best design.

<gallery caption="Pollution of Krivaja river" widths="150px" heights="150px" perrow="7">
File:Krivaja-kanali-zarasli-ciscenje-trska-plovidba 660x330.jpg|why did you select this case?The Krivaja River, 109 kilometers long, is the longest watercourse that flows throughout Vojvodina, Serbia. However, due to the launch of new industrial plants that directly pollute the river, especially in the municipality of Backa Topola, this watercourse is now completely dead. Location: 45.826527, 19.512625
File:0.jpg| what is the issue/conflict The pollution, coming mostly from meat factories, but also from the intensive agriculture and sewage has tremendously bad effect on the population in the area. Weight of the problem can be seen from the example of the fact that people cannot open their windows because of the unbearable odor coming from the river. Furthermore, even though the pollution hasn't reached the local water supply system, in the event of a change in pressure, the pollutant could reach water pipes. (1)
File:B4-1.jpg|what is the issue/conflict - Besides affecting local population directly and indirectly, pollution in river Krivaja has negative effects on biodiversity and overall environment. As the largest river with the source in Vojvodina, Krivaja has the potential to develop tourism, fishing and irrigation systems. However, the river in such a bad ecological state can not provide ecosystem services; but instead, it can only have negative impact on its surroundings.(2)
File:10 Gradska deponija Backa Topola.JPG|who are the actors? - Inspection for water pollution confirmed that there are several industry facilities mostly responsible for polluting the river. IM Topola (meat industry), Topiko Perutnina Ptuj (slaughter and processing of poultry meat), AIK Zibel (processing of animal waste) and JKP Komgrad (secondary municipal wastewater) are the companies having the most impact. Part of the Krivaja pollution problem is also diffuse pollution originating from the arable land surrounding it. Citizens themselves also have the role in polluting. Because Krivaja passes through several villages that do not have sewage, some households have connected their fecal drains directly to the riverbed.

File:Capture.JPG|UN's Sustainable Development Goal? In case of Krivaja river, water pollution has negative impact on human health, livelihood choices and general wellbeing. Water supply is in serious danger directly affecting people's health.
File:Wefw.JPG|UN's Sustainable Development Goal? The problem of Krivaja river is directly connected with the lack of systemic approach and cooperation among actors. The goal number 12 of the UN's 17 sustainable development Goals i.e. Responsible consumption and production could be a starting point in reversing degradation and polluting and increasing the quality of life.

<gallery caption="Redesign of the city centre Freising" widths="150px" heights="150px" perrow="7">
Image: Marktplatz Freising.jpg|caption: Freising the university and dome town with about 50.000 inhabitants is located in the north of munich next to the munich airport. Its history goes back to 739 A.D. That's why you can find an old city center here. Because of changed human needs the city center is redesigned during a huge planning process. That's why I chose this case. 48°24'01.9"N 11°44'37.5"E
Image: ISSUE1 SJ-001.jpg|caption: One of the main conflicts or issues in the city center of Freising is the abundance of traffic and its different road users like car drivers bicyclists and pedestrians. This together with the missing accessibility for all people causes many incidents. Furthermore, you hardly find public squares where you are able to rest, it's noisy and in general a out-of-date and not sustainable design.
Image: ISSUE2 SJ-001.jpg|caption: With these 3 pictures I'd like to point to the conflict of the less squares and the missing identity of the city center. Some years ago, the city center had a strong character because of the beautiful stream, which has been flowing through the city. Since the space was needed for cars, the Moosach was overbuilt and together with its beauty disappeared under the streets. Until 2013 it is going to be opened again.
Image: Actors SJ-001.jpg|caption: The actors of the redesign of the city center Freising are the town Freising itself, the inhabitants, landscape architects who participated at the landscape architectural competition, the association of "lebenfindetinnenstadt.de" and the "Städtebauförderung" (urban development promotion program). This project was aimed at public participation, in particular to create a place for everybody with handicap or not.
Image: Sustainable SJ-001.jpg|caption: The city of Freising and the planner team set up the goal 11 of the sustainable development goals of the united nations, which is "sustainable cities and communities".Therefore they developed a masterplan including an accessible pedestrian area, public squares, mobile trees, improved lighting and flooring. The interaction of these factors leads to a better identity of the town, reduces the noise and the accidents and embellishs the community.
Image: Energy SJ-001.jpg|caption: Another UN's Sustainable Development Goal in this project is the affordable and clean energy programm. During the construction works they prepared a sustainable district heating network. Residents aren't dependent on fossil fuels any more and this improves the climate in general.

<gallery caption="A TOP TO DOWN URBAN DESIGN PROJECT" widths="150px" heights="150px" perrow="7">
Image:Emam-hossein.jpg|caption: why did you select this case?Imam-Husein Square was one of the oldest traditional and commercial districts in the capital, the important reason why I chose this area is that renovation of this square is one the few urban projects that are done in Tehran, and unfortnately completely unsuccessful.
Image:2278701.jpg|caption: what is the issue/conflict (1)the most significant issue here is the brutal image of this new space, which is made of some huge iron structures and is totally incompatible with the soul of the place. moreover, it has produced a detached and discontinuous edge that does not cover the space.
Image:313207 511.jpg|caption: what is the issue/conflict (2)as you see in the picture, there is an underpass behind the square. traffic problems seem to be solved here, but a lot of homeless people spend the night in the outlying places which are the products of this unappealing design. all the small shops and retails disappeared, and despite of religious ambiance of the place, prostitutes stand there at night and seek for their opportunities.
Image:289.jpg |caption: who are the actors? clearly, this project is a top-down process, even the consulting companies acted beneath the government. the head designer was a foreigner who didnt completely dominated Iranian culture and architecture. ultimately the space and its components were designed in a modern way.
Image:Untitled.png |caption: UN's Sustainable Development Goal? I think the biggest problem here is not to participating all the people in the process. so this goal is the nearest subject.
Image:Untitled1.png |caption: UN's Sustainable Development Goal? the second useful goal and approach that we can have is to operating system like a roundtrip. for instance in the Imam Husein square if we iniate a new design but in every section we make sure of our products and usage pattern of people, it would give a very nice opportunity to create the best design.

Imam-Husein Square was one of the oldest traditional and commercial districts in the capital, however, the previous form had some negative points and weaknesses, it was overcrowded and traffic had been being stuck by trams and other vehicles. the municipality's approach to solving this problem was demolishing the whole area, build a large spacious square and converting the whole area to pedestrian-only use.
these actions caused a myriad of problems. marketing plummeted, and the pure atmosphere died.

== Summary ==
here is one of the most important historical intersections in heart of Tehran, which is called City Theater. Not only is it an urban symbol, but it also is the start point of most urban protests. In all seasons and all days here is full of people, with different incomes and life styles. The other interesting fact is that City Theater is the only place in Tehran for Transsexual men and women to gather without any negative feedback for normal people, even though transsexual people are not accepted in Iranian society in normal conditions or places.
The building has a special architecture, you can see the graphical symbol of this building in Tehran silhouette beside Milad Tower, Azadi Tower, etc. most nights the best theaters run here. So the park and whole space are active at nights.
