3. Challenging boundaries – Part 1
Summary
This session addresses community cohesion and the role of the landscape practitioner in resolving conflict. Bridget will make reference to her own research spanning Croydon and the Olympic Park in which she reveals the relationship between distinctive aspects of the landscape and the tastes and interests of a number of minority groups. She will also challenge the notion that there is a commonly-accepted concept of nature.
