Our societies need to solve difficult issues to attain
sustainability. The main challenges include, among others, global
warming, demographic change, an energy crisis, and loss of
biodiversity. In tackling these issues, a holistic understanding of
our living space is important. The field of landscape planning and
design is at the core the holistic concept and it makes several
contributions to achieving sustainability. First, landscape
planning and design connects different spatial scales: from site to
region to the planet. Second, it focuses on close
interrelationships between human activities and nature. Third, it
is concerned with people's values toward their surroundings. This
book is based on the presentations made by German and Japanese
scholars at the international symposium "New Trends of Landscape
Design: Seamless Connection of Landscape Planning and Design from
Regional to Site Scales - The Cultural Context" held on November 5,
2012, at the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya
University.
