Summary

Based on both research and practical experience, the authors of the book offer an alternative methodogical approach to landscape design and planning. The book focuses on issues arising in the Mediterranean region but the principles of the approach can be used as an appropriate theoretical foundation for ecological design and planning elsewhere leading to better sustainable practice and development.
