- Summary:
- Researchers in architecture, landscape design, geography, and environmental sciences show how combining landscape research and planning, visual perception, and geographic information science can help clarify such themes as landscape openness, cluttering of the rural landscape, high-rise buildings in relation to cityscape, historical landscapes, and motorway panoramas. In sections on theory, landscape research and design, and landscape policy, they consider such topics as the psychology of the visual landscape, virtual historical landscapes, and the Province of Noord-Holland as a case study of landscape policy, and visual landscape assessment.
