The imprint of human influences on the landscape is a reflection of culture, technology, values, and societal attitudes towards nature. This course provides an overview of these influences: throughout history, examines the ways through which today’s society impacts landscape systems, and surveys contemporary strategies through which landscape planners and designers seek to address grand challenges. Couse will explore landscape dynamics in a range of territories including those that are intensely urban, agronomic, protected wildernesses, and all places in-between. Satisfies Volunteer Core Requirement: (AH)
