在景观建筑史上，对环境进行重新规划与改造的一个典范是后工业时期的景观建设，这样的典型代表是Lehigh运河南岸的城市景观，位于宾尼法尼亚州的Bethlehem市。该工程占地面积约为1800英亩，其中的大约20个景观属于该工程的管辖范围，这占据了Bethlehem市的20%的面积，同时这里在之前也是Bethlehem著名钢铁公司的总部所在地。
在对场地进行了仔细分析后，设计团队将设计的重点放在了保护场地的历史工业环境上，同时希望对现有的景观做一个适当的修整与革新，挖掘它们潜在的经济价值。通过对旧建筑物的重新启用和严密的措施和设计步骤，尽管在设计过程中遇到了种种挑战，但是设计团队仍旧不改初衷，将可持续发展放在任务首位。在经过对当地的泥土进行了腐蚀性测试和可持续性测试后，设计团队认为当地对铁矿石的不断抽取使得该地区的土壤偏碱性，这也是该项目建设过程中需要考虑的重要因素之一。

One of the most prominent examples of redirecting the environmental legacy of a post-industrial landscape can be traced to the south banks of the Lehigh Canal, in the city of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Comprising 1,800 acres (20 of which belong to this project) and 20 percent of Bethlehem’s total land mass is the former headquarters of Bethlehem Steel Corporation (BSC).
After careful analysis, the focus of the redesign became to preserve and elevate the site’s historic industrial setting while capitalizing on its current potential as an engine for economic growth. Through the reuse of buildings and careful design measures, sustainability was an achievable priority despite challenges. During numerous soil corrosivity tests and topsoil suitability tests, the continuous extraction and movement of iron ore was found to have left soil alkalinity levels abnormally high.
