“Landscape is a powerful ideological framework for the construction of cultural values.” – Dianne Harris (Chappell, xix)

“The best landscape architects have a gift for fulfilling social needs and expressing human values in their art.” -Sally A. Kitt Chappell

“In the real world, all communities are not created equal. Some are more equal than others. If a community happens to be inhabited by poor, powerless people of color, it receives less protection than powerful affluent white communities. Economics, politics, and race all play an important part in sorting out residential amenities and locally unwanted land uses” (Bullard, 2011, 89).
