Selman Paul (University Of Sheffield Uk) - Sustainable Landscape Planning The Reconnection Agenda - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: This book takes as its starting point the need to examine critically the case for landscape reconnection. It looks at alleged disconnections and their supposed consequences. It explores the arguments about reconnecting the natural and human elements of whole landscapes. More broadly it considers landscape as an arena within which science humanities and professions can find common ground and in which vivid social learning can occur about key social and environmental issues. It takes a dynamic view of landscape in contrast to the popular image of timeless traditional scenery. It accepts that even the most cherished cultural landscapes will change and indeed it views change drivers as a potentially positive means of creating new connectivities between people and place. It recognises the growing interest in creating new space for wildlife and water since re - connection cannot occur unless there is sufficient elbow room for system processes to establish a dynamic equilibrium.
