| Summary: |
Growing social and economic needs exert major pressures on landscapes, challenging preserved landscape values and the regional significance of places. As a result, the scope of landscape management has broadened and diversified in response to international calls for greater landscape protection, and to existing and new challenges, such as those relating to climate change adaptation and ecosystem services. Within this context, landscape impact assessment and more in general landscape planning have been regarded as effective mechanisms for promoting and, at the same time, as the basis of sustainable landscape development. Set within the European context, this book aims to provide a contemporary review of landscape impact assessment theory and practice, looking at both the project and planning level. |
