Tom  Turner
“Single-purposism, as we have seen, tends to create projects that harm the environment. Instead, we should design projects with as favourable an environmental impact as possible. This is the objective of environmental impact design.”
Tom Turner, Landscape Planning And Environmental Impact Design
