Livable Landscape
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Livable landscapes are gardens that are personal, intimate spaces that simultaneously celebrate community and the joy of the connected landscape. They include local approaches that are cognizant of global realities and trends. Livable landscapes embrace all branches of ecological science as well as human social science and cultural geography, resulting in a complex but eminently modern recipe for inclusive habitat. They combine the human need for creative endeavor with the finite nature of the world’s physical resources. Livable landscapes encourage and sustain spontaneous, sensual everyday life, and conserve local uniqueness while evolving toward a universal landscape language.
