Urban Landscape....

[gazzauk]

A quick question.....as far as anyone knows, who was the first to use the incredibly pretentious and pomous phrase 'Urban Landcsape'.

Now, yes, it does waht it say on the tin but, even so, massively pretentious.

So where did this phrase originate?

Who was the first to use pretentious in the wrong context?

What makes it pretentious? It's a landscape in an urban setting, Calling it urban landscape just differentiates it from the traditional type of landscape. :shrug:

It's a bit of an oxymoron.

Isn't an oxymoron someone who forgets to breathe?

With the alternatives being "Townscape" or "Cityscape", Urban Landscape just sounds so much more interesting and gritty:shrug:.
