Summary:

Challenges of sustainability and transition need innovative tools for the understanding, mapping, designing and governing of manmade sites and territories.0Complementary to standard land use categories, such as housing and agriculture, this book of essays introduces eleven ?interface categories?, labels for land use interactions, transitions, mixes, and spatial and temporal positions in between.0Authors from different disciplines describe and illustrate how this set of interfaces resonates with their own projects, challenges and agendas, and how it sheds light on new land use agents, on unregistered forms of land occupation, and on opportunities for socio-economic and ecosystem services.0The concept of interfaces encourages the development of adapted modes of planning and management for urban, rural or natural environments, and on different spatial scales.
