From the late 1990s, the phrase 'landscape urbanism' was used by landscape architects in the United States to refer to the re-organisation of declining post-industrial cities, such as Detroit. From the 2000s, it was used in Europe by architects to mean a highly flexible way of integrating large-scale infrastructure, housing and open space. By the late 2000s, the phrase became associated with highly commercialized, multi-phase urban parks, such as Olympic park design.

Ten characteristics of landscape urbanism
Tom Turner summarized the ten characteristics of landscape urbanism in the book Landscape design history and theory: landscape architecture and garden design origins :

1-Broad scale context: Landscape urbanism does not belong to a specific scale. It can be considered in small or large scale projects.

2-Landscape is a context which contains architecture and civil engineering.

3-Landscape is seen as a third machinery arm that makes a connection between its components. Mohsen Mostafavi, the author of Landscape Urbanism : A Manual for the Machinic Landscape mentions the same thing.

4-LU projects can provide the opportunity of increasing the social interactions. Also, Emily Talen, one of the writers of Landscape Urbanism and its Discontentes talks about social aspects of a LU project "by forming three theoretical alliances: one with post-structuralism, one with ecology, and one --peculiarly-- with Marxism."

5-Function is the most significant concern in LU machine, which gives the appearance of a project less importance.

6-LU discovers the potentials and opportunities in landscapes.

7-The infrastructure are highlighted in LU projects.

8-LU projects will develop the interrelationship between natural and engineered systems.

9-LU will break the boundary between the landscape and the city and will organize them as one.

10-The answer to the projects which are complex or have ecological concentrations, is landscape urbanism.
