Sustainable landscape design; key ideas for effective implementation: Changing Cities III Spatial, Design, Landscape & Socio-economic Dimensions

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    This paper forms part of wider research looking at pioneer landscape strategies across Europe, examining the extent to which low carbon, sustainability and spatial quality can be delivered effectively on urban and strategic scale, and covers examples from the ?Landscape Observatory? (Spain), the ?Room for the River? and ?New Dutch Waterline? (Netherlands), and the ?HS2/HS2LV? project (UK). This paper presents the Netherlands and the UK case studies, illustrating effective ways where the key issues of low carbon and quality of space are integrated in the design framework and the impact this has on the decision making. The case studies have shown that effective implementation requires visual communication and an in-depth understanding of how the concepts of sustainability and spatial quality are expressed. Policies, and legislation are also considered significant for landscape based developments.
