“…Brown & Witschey (2003) This tentative conclusion was reached after conducting my own search of Maya site surveys, consulting both literature and several Mayanists for their opinion. Soon after, Peiró Vitoria's (2015) research reproduced and assembled the greatest collection of Classic period urban centre plans in a single volume, in the process basically confirming this assessment.…”

“…Nevertheless, readily accessible (i.e. published) Maya city plans still concern the results of traditional topographical surface surveys of visible remains (Peiró Vitoria 2015). The nature of tropical archaeological remainsusually badly deteriorated by years of overgrowing reforestation and erosion, and therefore difficult to access and measure -implies that a comprehensive plan of the full extent of a city on the level of detail required may not exist, despite some large-scale long-term archaeological mapping projects.…”

“…The nature of archaeological evidence prevents unequivocal direct arguments from asserting the existence and implementation of urban planning policies in Maya urban landscapes (for discussion, see [31,64]). While large-scale infrastructure and civil engineering, as well as the construction and periodic redesign of major monumental complexes and urban scenes, required planning strategies (see [65]), it is ambiguous whether the layout and positioning of residential units and neighbourhoods were equally subject to coordination (e.g., [66]; cf. [67] on the relating circulation and visibility to the distribution of infrastructure, resource access, and land subdivision).…”

Using the Precolumbian lowland Maya model of urban soil connectivity discussed in Part I, we review how soil connectivity can transition into urban planning policy and, by extension, could ultimately become codified as vantages and guidelines for urban design. In Maya agro-urban landscapes, the interspersion of open and green space with construction and paving provides edges (or interfaces) between sealed and unsealed soils at which the potential for soil connectivity manifests. These edges create an undeniable opportunity for urban planning to determine methods, guidelines, and conditions that can enhance soil connectivity. We argue that adequate attention to soils in urban sustainability goals would counteract misconceptions about the compact city paradigm and compensation for soil sealing in urban practice. Through preserving and increasing urban soil availability, proximity, and accessibility, advisory policies can stimulate shared values and everyday behaviours that reinforce the responsible and productive use of urban soils. Such urban planning can enable and encourage widespread participation in urban soil management. To promote policymaking on urban soils, we assess the importance and challenges of using urban green space as a proxy for the presence of urban soils. Our review suggests that urban green space offers high potential for use in urban planning to develop habit architectures that nurture soil-oriented pro-environmental behaviour. However, we also acknowledge the need for consistent and systematic data on urban soils that match sustainable urban development concepts to assist the effective transition of soil connectivity into urban planning codifications. Formulating adequate soil-oriented planning guidelines will require translating empirical insights into policy applications. To this end, we propose methods for enhancing our understanding and ability to monitor urban soil connectivity, including onsite surveys of land-use and bottom-up experience of soils, the mapping of the edges between sealed and unsealed soils, and using landscape ecological scales of analysis. In conclusion, we position soil care and connectivity as a primary task for urban planning and design and digest our findings and empirical vantages into concrete starting points devised as instruments to support urban planning in achieving soil codification.
