Balancing on a lovely rock wall separating environmental and development concerns, the author focuses on the long-term and high- level concepts which should lead to and inspire the planning process: beauty, harmony, composition, sustainability, health, and spirituality. Part one reviews the ideals and plans which guide the conservation and development of fine landscape and considers the laws and theories of context. The second part covers environmental impact design in the areas of public open space, reservoirs, mineral working, agriculture, forest, rivers and floods, transport, and urbanization.
