This urbanism meme illustrates how retaining walls for parks differ based on integration and design approach.
In the top "bad" example, a massive, solid concrete wall cuts a straight line across the hill, creating a permanent visual scar and disrupting the natural flow of the landscape.
The bottom "good" example shows a 'terraced' approach where the wall breaks up into smaller, angled sections and sits flush with the ground, seamlessly blending with the existing environment. It argues that effective infrastructure should feel like part of the landscape rather than an obstacle that blocks the view of the hill.

The meme is a humorous comparison between a large retaining wall that creates a massive scar on the hill, and a terraced retaining wall that breaks up the mass. The text reads: "Large retaining wall creates a massive scar on hill. Terraced retaining wall breaks up mass." The meme is poking fun at the idea that a large retaining wall can have a negative impact on the environment, while a terraced retaining wall can be a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option.
