Sammanfattning

The globalisation process has not only influenced politics and economies but social and cultural life of modern society. Globalisation in landscape architecture poses a threat of homogenisation, the creation of ‘placeless’ design, and the loss of the uniqueness of the place.  Usually globalisation is associated with westernisation and an acceptance of the western vision of life and cultural preferences. Today the world has accepted the Euro-American consumer’s vision with its ’routine modernism‘ of skyscraper architecture in the Central Business Districts, suburbanisation, particular landscape architecture styles, and standardised plant and construction materials. This chapter discusses global plant material in urban landscapes.
