Experiential Landscape offers new ways of looking at the
relationship between people and the outdoor open spaces they use in
their everyday lives. The book takes a holistic view of the
relationship between humans and their environment, integrating
experiential and spatial dimensions of the outdoors, and exploring
the theory and application of environmental design disciplines,
most notably landscape architecture and urban design. The book
explores specific settings in which an experiential approach has
been applied, setting out a vocabulary and methods of application,
and offers new readings of experiential characteristics in site
analysis and design. Offering readers a range of accessible mapping
tools and details of what participative approaches mean in
practice, this is a new, innovative and practical methodology. The
book provides an invaluable resource for students, academics and
practitioners and anyone seeking reflective but practical guidance
on how to approach outdoor place-making or the analysis and design
of everyday outdoor places.

The need for a human-orientated approach to urbanism is well
understood, and yet all too often this dimension remains lacking in
urban design. In this book the authors argue for and develop
socially restorative urbanism - a new conceptual framework laying
the foundations for innovative ways of thinking about the
relationship between the urban spatial structure and social
processes to re-introduce a more explicit people-centred element
into urban place-making and its adaptation. Focusing on this
interplay between humans and the built environment, two new
concepts are developed: the transitional edge - a socio-spatial
concept of the urban realm; and Experiemics - a participative
process that acts to redress imbalances in territorial
relationships, defined in terms of the awareness of mine, theirs,
ours and yours (MTOY). In this way, Socially Restorative Urbanism
shows how professional practice and community understanding can be
brought together in a mutually interdependent and practical way.
Its theoretical and practical principles are applicable across a
wide range of contexts concerning human benefit through urban
environmental change and experience, and it will be of interest to
readers in the social sciences and environmental psychology, as
well as the spatial planning and design disciplines.
