Summary:
Depuis qu'elle existe, l'humanité s'évertue à aménager le Monde, le réaménager, le diviser, le parcourir, le mettre en production et donc en valeur. Elle modifie sans cesse son habitat, produit tous les jours de l'espace, de la différence et de l'organisation - avec art et réussite souvent, mais non sans dégâts et perturbations dus à l'ignorance, aux erreurs, aux conflits, à l'avidité. À partir de questions simples et fondamentales, "qu'y a-t-il là, pourquoi est-ce là comme ça, et où cela va-t-il ?", le géographe scrute et déchiffre les traces et les signes que livrent les paysages, la distribution des activités et des habitats, des cultures et des comportements, même les noms des lieux et les antimondes.

Summary:
Highly visual and containing contributions from leading names in landscape, architecture and design, this volume provides a rare insight into people’s engagement with the outdoor environment; looking at the ways in which the design of spaces and places meets people’s needs and desires in the twenty-first century. Embracing issues of social inclusion, recreation, and environmental quality, the editors explore innovative ways to develop an understanding of how the landscape, urban or rural, can contribute to health and quality of life. Open Space: People Space examines the nature and value of people’s access to outdoor environments. Led by Edinburgh’s OPENspace research centre, the debate focuses on current research to support good design for open space and brings expertise from a range of disciplines to look at: - an analysis of policy and planning issues and challenges - understanding the nature and experience of exclusion - the development of evidence-based inclusive design -innovative research approaches which focus on people’s access to open space and the implications of that experience. Invaluable to policy makers, researchers, urban designers, landscape architects, planners, managers and students, it is also essential reading for those working in child development, health care and community development.

Summary:
There is no escaping landscape: it's everywhere and part of everyone's life. Landscapes have received much less attention in aesthetics than those arts we can choose to ignore, such as painting or music - but they can tell us a lot about the ethical and aesthetic values of the societies that produce them. Drawing examples from a wide range of landscapes from around the world and throughout history, the author considers the ways landscapes can affect our emotions, our imaginations, and our understanding of the passage of time. This publication reveals the enormous design work involved in even the most naturalistic of landscapes, such as Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and the ways in which contemporary landscapes are turning the challenges of the industrial past into opportunities for the future.
