美國景觀設(shè)計專業(yè)包含兩個專業(yè)方向，即景觀規(guī)劃(landscape planning)和景觀設(shè)計(landscape design)。景觀設(shè)計學(xué)與建筑學(xué)、城市規(guī)劃、環(huán)境藝術(shù)、市政工程設(shè)計等學(xué)科有緊密的聯(lián)系，而景觀設(shè)計學(xué)所關(guān)注的問題是土地和人類產(chǎn)外空間的問題(僅這一點就有別于建筑學(xué))它與現(xiàn)代意義上的城市規(guī)劃的主要區(qū)別在于景觀設(shè)計學(xué)是物質(zhì)空間的規(guī)劃和設(shè)計，包括城市與區(qū)域的物質(zhì)空間規(guī)劃設(shè)計，而城市規(guī)劃更主要關(guān)注社會經(jīng)濟(jì)和城市總體發(fā)展計劃。由于中國景觀設(shè)計發(fā)展滯后，中國目前的城市物質(zhì)空間規(guī)劃設(shè)計仍然由城市規(guī)劃專業(yè)所擔(dān)當(dāng)。只有同時掌握關(guān)于自然系統(tǒng)和社會系統(tǒng)雙方面知識、懂得如何協(xié)調(diào)人與自然關(guān)系的景觀設(shè)計師，才有可能設(shè)計人地關(guān)系和諧的城市。
