- Comments : Web site 'blurb': Landscape researchers, planners and decision-makers are confronted with increasing social and ecological problems deriving from highly urbanized areas and their surrounding countryside. Conflicting land-use interests, such as housing, transportation, business, recreation and nature conservation, put pressure on the spatial development of these areas, which can be seen as “metropolitan landscapes”. This book discusses the concept of the metropolitan landscape. Aspects of planning metropolitan landscapes and related questions are debated from both a research and planning perspective. Concepts as well as demands and problems of metropolitan landscapes are summarized and approaches to plan and manage metropolitan landscapes are presented. http://www.intels.cc/delta/series4.html
