In this article, we consider the role of landscape as support for an alternative urban mobility scheme and how architecture can help foster a transition towards a low-carbon system. From that point of departure, we trace the genealogical origins of the term passage-paysage in order to conceptualize its innovative aspects for urban design while showing how it challenges the modernist paradigm of urban and infrastructural planning that has been dominant for almost a century. Finally, we explain how the passage-paysage pushes for holistic mobility experiences and inclusive and adaptive design strategies oriented towards the development of healthier and more biodiverse cities.
